I am a very progressive life long social dem. I am sympathetic to their plight and understand plus agree with their decision to immigrate here. Question is, where will they live? The housing crisis only gets worse and worse. When will governments in every city start building affordable and free housing? Why is citizenship with full benefits given to Cuban immigrants but not others? The government needs to reform immigration but not in the direction they’re taking it.
The CIA caused the problems in South America, we have an obligation to help them.
I agree completely, but each one of your points is a mountain to move with lobbyists keeping them in place. If we can get money out of politics, we could possibly see real concrete changes.
Definitely, plus the produce harvesters and all the other hard work they do. America treats their immigrants extremely poorly when in fact if they went on strike it would bankrupt many industries
I think it would be really cool if we found ways to incentivize building communities in and around old dying manufacturing towns. When people say there is no housing, they just mean anywhere they want to live. Rebuilding communities would rebuild local economies.
I could imagine grants given to towns on conditions about relaxing zoning in areas to allow for more high density structures and less building codes that are meant for single houses, as well as changes for existing structures in certain zones. Also should either create and fund a community liason program for starting small businesses, or wave the majority of financial burdens.
No houses near where the jobs are. In my city it’s a good hour drive to city hub. We all know the cure but capitalism and greed always stop us. We have to take money out of politics to get there

I’d bet most residential construction workers are immigrants.

This is a really cool idea. Thank you for sharing.
