We have much more Haitians in Houston along with millions of Mexicans, Indians, Africans, Europeans, Asians, etc., in our backyards. We don’t shit on them, we live with them and most are great contributors to society. They work, pay rent, pay taxes and very rarely cause trouble. Entitled Americans born and raised here are the WORST. Those are the people you have to look out for. A lot of drugged out, mentally challenged US citizens that were spoiled rotten by their parents. I’d bet you those Haitians are better citizens than those meth heads.

they flew in about 20,000 into a city of about 60,000.

What do you think would happen if they brought in 1.6 million people to Houston this year?

Its not about Haitians necessarily.

[DwightShrute]

lmao you are as deranged and triggered as Trump is. what a nut bag.

you are incapable of rational thought so I am not surprised at your post.

You do know that the gangs taking over apartments was BS put out by the slumlord that owns the building. Of course you don't.

Just like the cat eating shit was made up by some pissed off Ohio Nazi because Haitians were moving in. More BS you believe because you are trapped in your Right Wing bubble. Thats why you look like a stupid racist asshole all the time.

It’s not about Haitians necessarily.

They did not fly in 20,000 people. Haitians have been moving into that city the past 5 years. What is the results? More businesses, more companies and more money. The city is thriving right now. That’s what happened. More jobs which has revitalized their once dead economy. There has not been a rise in crime. The Haitians have been upstanding citizens but here comes JD Vance trying to politicize and spread hate. It’s despicable.

Musk has taken billions in handouts form the federal government and States.

However, over the years, Musk's companies — Tesla Motors, SpaceX, and SolarCity — have received billions of dollars from government loans, contracts, tax credits, and subsidies. According to a Los Angeles Times investigation, Musk's companies had received an estimated $4.9 billion in government support by 2015, and they've gotten more since.
4.9 billion before 2015. Not counting what he has gotten since then.

Houston has grown from 2.2 million to 6.8 million in the last 10 years. It has basically tripled. Springfield could only hope it could see as much growth as Houston. San Antonio, Austin, Dallas have all blown up. Why? Jobs. People bring jobs and money. They work and pay taxes. Some of you look at immigrants as threats. Smart business people see it as opportunity. Ohios population has been hemorrhaging for decades. They need an influx of people.

Springfield, Ohio: Safer than 2% of U.S. cities.


With a crime rate of 58 per one thousand residents, Springfield has one of the highest crime rates in America compared to all communities of all sizes - from the smallest towns to the very largest cities. One's chance of becoming a victim of either violent or property crime here is one in 17. Within Ohio, more than 99% of the communities have a lower crime rate than Springfield. In fact, after researching dangerous places to live, NeighborhoodScout found Springfield to be one of the top 100 most dangerous cities in the U.S.A.

Houston is an enormous city located in the state of Texas. With a population of 2,302,878 people and 853 associated neighborhoods, Houston is the largest community in Texas.

Houston is an extremely ethnically-diverse city. The people who call Houston home describe themselves as belonging to a variety of racial and ethnic groups. People of Hispanic or Latino origin are the most prevalent group in Houston, accounting for 44.83% of the city’s residents (people of Hispanic or Latino origin can be of any race). The greatest number of Houston residents report their race to be White, followed by Black or African-American. Important ancestries of people in Houston include German, English, Irish, Italian, and French.

I have been to Houston many times. I lived in Costa Rica for 17 years, I really liked the people. I like Houston. Great Vietnamese food I thought.

It has a high crime rate as well unfortunately. But its a big city so its not as surprising.

Houston is the most diverse city in the world. It is also the fastest growing as a result. That’s how America got to be number 1. Growth, expansion. China and India will outpace us IF WE DO NOT GROW. That’s why we need immigrants. Anything less is stupid. Countries that close their borders are not world leaders. Republicans know this. They’re playing you.

[Mac4Lyfe]

Metro Houston is 6.8 million people and growing every day. 10,000 new people a month move here. Millions of Mexicans here. Do I worry for my safety from them. Nope. It’s mainly white and black men who were born and bred here that do all the crimes. Immigrants usually don’t want no trouble and obey our laws.

you grow your country from within. You can also grow it with legal immigration.

Also, the USA takes in 1.2 million legal immigrants every single year. No other country comes close. You can allow just anyone to come in. You wouldn't allow just anyone to enter your house. You wouldn't let anyone just walk into the Stadium and sit at the 50-yard line. There are many laws and rules a country and a civilized society has which make it a great place to live. If you allow just anyone to do anything they want who aren't even from here (the country), then you have chaos and lawlessness or whatever you want to call it. But it sure as hell isn't a country anymore.

Dwight - you said you are a critical thinker.

Did you look at the crime rate 10 years ago compared to today for Springfield? It’s gone down. Now that area has been one of the poorest in the country for 4 decades now. It is one of the highest crime places to begin with. I bet if you did your research you would find that most crimes are white and black people there, not Haitians. Which is the main point.

Simple google search will give you your answer. The metro area of Houston is HUGE. It will take you hours to go around beltway 8. We’re building another beltway which will take you over a day. Land mass, this city is ridiculously large and keeps expanding out every day. Nowhere to go but out.

Ohio has some of the highest numbers of crime. Cleveland was the murder capital of the world when I grew up there. Why? No jobs. People flocked out of Ohio as steel and manufacturing jobs left. Crime grew. Now Springfield is growing with jobs and money. Haitians are working there. Do you really think they are committing crimes with good jobs? Come on man, think. It’s the drug infested whites and blacks in that area that live by hook and crook. Those are the ones that gave up on life. Those are the ones that are useless and aren’t worth hiring. The shame is Trump is blaming the wrong people. Just ask anyone who actually lives in these cities. It’s our own kids that aren’t worth a shit. Sad.

I am not hung up on that lol. Yes, I have lived in several countries in the last 20 years and am about to live somewhere else soon. Countries have laws is the point. Americans can't go to Cuba for example. Countries have laws. When in Rome.

You say you respect law of every country. Forget the Utopia of Springfield for a moment, tens of millions breaking the laws by coming into the US illegally is not ok or is ok?

I'm not sure I believe in TENS OF MILLIONS coming into the country. I would see that here in Texas. I'm mixed on the subject. I blame both parties, especially the Republicans who have turned this issue into one of hate and division. They both need to come together and come up with solutions. There isn't an easy solution. I will keep telling you that we indeed need illegals in this country to do the shit jobs our own people won't do. If you think inflation is high now, get rid off every illegal tomorrow. There's also different shades of illegal. You need to understand status and everything is not so black and white. I don't like anyone breaking laws. But some of the immigration laws may need to be adjusted. We may need more temporary status for people to work. I do not have the solution on how to fix the southern border. It's been a problem for at least 50 years now. I do know that criminalizing people, especially young children is not the solution.

I think the US has to be strategic. Identify certain countries that we can help build up their infrastructure and stability, so that their people wouldn't want to leave their country. But you better make sure you have enough people to work here.

ok so you think doing the same thing over and over expecting a different result is the solution? Why are you so convinced you need millions of illegals? No you are right, its not an easy solutions. Its takes guts to admit its niot working and quit doing the same things that have got you in the mess you're in. Am I wrong? I mean generally speaking? If so, then why keep doing it? Why keep voting for the same people who want to keep doing the same things? It's insanity! Isn't it? Sure it is.

35 trillion in debt? Billions spent on nation building other nations and endless wars? Billions on election campaigns? Countless millions in the country that are here without permission. We aren't talking about a few hundred or thousand, we are talking about tens of millions, and so many of those people you have no idea who they are? You do see what some greatest cities in America have turned into over the recent years? Tent cities expanding every day and its not getting any better. I think even you can admit that. Do you believe in the rule of law?

The country is run by idiots. This is a fact and its been that was for a long time now. I see it, many see it, but also many refuse to admit what they know is true. Its denial of observable reality.

I live in a city that has one of the most immigration, legal and illegal in the past 3 decades. I’ve also lived in 3 other border cities and own property a long several ofthe southern border cities and northern as well. I’ve hired thousands of people in the oil and gas business. I’ve expanded into renewables. If you need drilling, completions engineers, you come to me. You need the leading metallurgist, the best hydraulic Fracture engineer, you come to me. You need a lab to investigate the BP spill in the GOM, where do you get them. You need the top lawyer or chief financial officer or top tax attorney, do you get it. I have no idea or give zero fukks when you say this country isn’t working. It is working, people are working, maybe you’re not working. That’s a you problem. In the last 3 years I hired the top 25-30 leading Hydrogen experts in the world. They all are in the US. If we don’t get them Europe and Asia will get them. You want to guess how many were born in the US? Both parties have allowed talent and both have run up the debt. You’re sitting on an island trying to tell us what the US needs and we should cut off top talent entering this country. It is insane because you really don’t know what the Fukk is going on. We’re all idiots. Gotcha.
