I agree cities can absorb the immigrants if they wanted to.
I think however you guys underestimate NIMBY and how unprepared some of those cities are. Take SF for example. They don't even know what to do with the poor residents they got now and a lot of their housing "advocates" say SF needs more housing... but just not where they live.
I absolutely love the idea of letting immigrants pick the cities they want to go to by the way. Letting immigrants sort themselves into cities where they think they have the most support is one of the smartest things we can do to lower the costs of absorbing immigration and accelerating the process of integrating immigrants into the larger society and economy.
Yes immigrants are going to choose to go where they think they have the most support and in Grizy's world they will choose Nancy Pelosi's district where they will have no place to live or job prospects.
i dont think they should go towards Insider 911 theories.. the venn diagram of 911 truthers and alt right trumpers is almost a circle already, only the hatred for muslims is keeping it looking more like an eclipse..
eta- you can see this on a lot of recent social media posts about omar, the Q people can all agree whether the muslims did it or if it was an inside job that trump is currently getting through to the bottom of in secret investigations..
My impression was that he is mostly indifferent, but he won't criticize him and will golf with him as plenty of rich old white golf-playing dudes buy Nike/Tiger stuff.
Now, that's still deplorable, but it's definitely a level under kool-aid drinking Trumpstan*. And Tiger could be one of those. I just don't remember hearing about it.
*I admit this distinction is not really that important. I'm just curious.
tiger is a pill-popping billionaire sex maniac. i can believe a real friendship is there. and maybe he's being professional and not hugging trump in public so he doesn't piss off his liberal fans.

He is not a deplorable at all. He is not political.
