Immigration is a good thing.
We should be encouraging it with the stipulation that past a certain point, immigrants have to settle in rural America to help rebuild its dying towns.
Nah, those towns should be reclaimed in their entirety by the state and the people forcibly relocated to real cities. I live in one of these places, i can attest to the horrible effect they have on people, they should not be allowed to continue existing outside of strictly necessary farming towns.
The cost at a state and federal level to maintain those little podunk towns must be enormous.
Even if they just amalgamated them into larger regional towns. A town of 3000 is a lot easier to provide basic amenities to than 3 towns of 1000 each half an hour drive apart.
Germany apparently has a system where a large city includes smaller neighboring towns under its umbrella. They are called Ortsteil, and I gather they get their municipal services from the larger town to avoid unnecessary duplication and to ensure that even small villages of hundreds or a few thousand people are well run.
Now, the U.S. is much more spread out, but maybe something similar could be arranged.
It would help a little but some areas of the country are just empty. Like Wyoming is about 2/3rds the size of Germany but only has ~600k people in the whole state.
It is! These places are insanely costly, but that's secondary to what they do to people, imo. If you grow up here at a base level you will not have the full breadth of human experience; you'll probably never experience real community, you'll never experience other cultures or people (not even nationalities, you'll never even experience separate cliques or niches), you'll never have economic mobility (although that's rare regardless), you're basic services will always be in question. The list could continue on and on with various economic or humanitarian problems, and i don't even have that much experience to compare it to.
Ultimately it makes lesser people. paranoid, self obsessed, isolationist, violent, or addicted people. it's no coincidence that Republicans only really dominate in rural places.
This is simple, any plane that lands in Mexico with deportees on board doesn't have permission to leave without every passenger still being on board.
Just charge them five million dollars a pop and call it a handling fee. Add two more for, dunno, whatever the duck Ticketmaster calls it. Give those immigrants one million to start a comfortable life wherever they want to, keep the rest and build a wall.
