We get illegal immigration because the blowhards on both sides of the aisle aren’t serious about solving thorny problems. Some would rather bus illegals around the country
Are you upset that illegals are in the Northeast and not out of site and out of mind or something?
Greatly reduce parking minimum requirements in lieu of better public transportation and better city planning. Remove height restrictions on buildings (but not too high, sky scrapers for housing have diminishing returns), and adjusting restrictive lot minimums mostly.
The absolute complete ridiculousness of this suggestion is staggering. Its almost like you have absolutely no idea whatsoever about development.

Not at all. A lot of our immigrants come from Haiti. We welcome them and help them become citizens. They have a big presence in hotel and restaurants, and they pay taxes We do the same for Central American immigrants.
What might be different for you is to see a society that deals with the issue in an adult manner.
Lol. Ok man. Lets say we reduces minimum parking requirements to zero. How are you financing a deal in, say, California or Colorado or Washington state with a parking ratio of zero? When you sit down with an LP or Sr. Lender and explain to them that you're going to reach that 6% return on cost (with building cost soaring so underwriting with 5% escalation) with above market rents while competing with buildings parking at 1:1 or more while you're at zero. I'm sure you'll have tons of interest from all the players. I'm listening, please explain.
Honestly, you have no idea what your talking about. Maybe stick to the AOC "retrofit every building in America" talking point?

I'm not going to entertain your question if you're too stupid or illiterate to read previous comments. Don't waste my time.

Make up your mind.
You want something done, then you whine someone is pushing to get something done. Take a side.

This is completely unserious. (are you pranking us?)
If you truly believe what you post, vote smarter. You claim to be among adults, that qualifies for legal voting age. Vote smarter. Major American cities are overwhelmed and claim to be incapable of taking in a few buses of illegals. If they are the asset you claim, your representation is a massive failure. They should not only make a plea for them, they should take action to get as many as possible. Contact your representatives to find out why they are failing to do so.

When you understand his comments come in the context that he's a big (huge, major) believer in autocratic, absolute gov't control exceeding the Orwell Animal Farm, his ideas make sense.

Its really not a difficult fix man. The situation, hopefully, becomes an impeachable offense. Tit for tat.
Not sure if you are serious or joking. People will die trying to reach a better life for their family. You can't an impervious wall. People will come. People will die. People will reach the United States. That's where problem solving starts. What to do about the people that will inevitably reach our country. To stem the tide from Guatemala for example would require major government reform. It's not going to happen any time soon.

Violence and extortion by powerful criminal organizations, which the government has often been unable or unwilling to control, remain serious problems in Guatemala. Gang-related violence is an important factor prompting people, including unaccompanied children and young adults, to leave the country.

I don't care about the bussing. It's ridiculous and it is possible to absorb. We do take action to draw immigrants. We did this all the way back to the Vietnam war. My church took in a family of Hmong and slowly integrated them into society (language was a barrier). The state of Maine is a primary refugee area for Somalians.
We assist people from war-torn, impoverished countries. My point on immigration is it needs to be controlled. New rules and processes are required, but our leaders are ignoring the problem because they worry they will have to make difficult decisions to create a better process. Notice I didn't say perfect process.
I had hoped that Trump would be a catalyst for change. Instead he crammed a wall down people's throats. Lost more than half of America in the process. Spent billions and didn't solve the problem. So much for Trump's omnipotence. We don't need another neanderthal solution. We do need a well-considered solution and we need to keep tweaking it to improve it.
Have a read. I won't torture you will a multi-page post.
Immigrants continue to play a vital role in Massachusetts today, making up 17 percent of the state’s population. A fifth of the Massachusetts labor force is foreign-born, with immigrants supporting the state’s healthcare, science, and service industries, among others. As neighbors, business owners, taxpayers, and workers, immigrants are an integral part of Massachusetts’s diverse and thriving communities and make extensive contributions that benefit all.

Growing up and still having family in coastal Houston, I have some history and experience- Houston Still Most Diverse City in the Nation, Report Finds
A new report finds Houston remains the most diverse city in the nation.
Several studies in recent years have shown the Bayou City at the top of the list for ethnic and racial diversity. The city has no ethnic majority and nearly one-in-four residents are foreign born. In fact, Houston today mirrors what demographers forecast the U.S. population will look like in four decades.
This isn't a black/white issue. You mention VietNam. After the war ended, VietNam refugees moved into the coastal towns where I lived. The gov't gave them cash to buy shrimping boats to make a living. The consequence (libs hate the fuck out of that reality) was they were able to sell their catch lower than the locals who had shrimped the Gulf as a family business. They had Boat loans to pay. Shrimping is heavily regulated and the added competition for time and space made the catch much smaller. Many went bankrupt. Open shootings on the water were frequent.
I had hoped that Trump would be a catalyst for change. Instead he crammed a wall down people's throats.
In fact, he took a comprehensive approach to control the border. You simply got picked off by the open border crowd that relentlessly cried about building a wall. (note: you are paying for a half million dollar wall around Biden's beach house)
Spent billions and didn't solve the problem. So much for Trump's omnipotence.
But he tried. He got as far as he could within our (recent) system of gov't. Dems opposed every effort to control the border. He wasn't the autocrat we now have that dismisses the Constitution to rule as King. The in real time end of democracy. Watch him wave away school debts and let working people pay for them.
Yeah, yeah, I know. Pro-open borders groups make endless claims that open borders is a win/win with no consequences. It's a battle against reality and only those who refuse to accept reality fall for it.

Exactly!
The nazi has nothing (zero/zip/nada) to contribute of anything meaningful or useful so he he mumbles, bumbles, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh RACIST!!!!!
People will die trying to reach a better life for their family.
Lol, come on man. Should the US accept 4 billion people or is there a certain limit on people that we will accept that 'will die trying to reach a better life'?
