THE SLOW DEATH OF CALIFORNIA, A WELFARE STATE AND
COLONY OF MEXICO
Census: Residents fleeing Baltimore in record numbers
Since 2015, Baltimore has experienced a record loss of population, according to the US Census Bureau. The reasons are plain enough, according to Dan Rodricks of the Baltimore Sun:
An insane rate of shootings and homicides; the continued movement of families to the suburbs, something reflected in declining school enrollment; the persistent image of lawlessness since the April 2015 unrest; the shortage of police officers, low morale among cops who remain on the job, the turnover among commissioners; weak or uneven political leadership, and, as always, a property tax rate double the rate in the counties.
How bad is the exodus?
New annual estimates from the US Census Bureau show that Baltimore is continuing to shed inhabitants, bringing the overall population of Maryland’s biggest city down to what it was over 100 years ago.The latest Census data shows that Baltimore lost more than 7,300 citizens during the 12 months that ended July 1. That’s a loss of 1.2% of the city’s population. It’s the fourth straight year of population decline for Baltimore while rival counties are attracting newcomers.Baltimore has been hemorrhaging residents for a long time. In 1950, it was America’s sixth most populous city, a manufacturing dynamo with nearly a million residents, many employed by Bethlehem Steel. Over decades, with factories closed and “white flight” in the 1960s and ’70s followed by waves of “black flight,” it’s since shrunk to the country’s 30th largest.Census data released Thursday suggests the city’s population is now just over 600,000 people. The population of the metropolis nicknamed “Charm City” stood at roughly 730,000 in 1920.
Of course, Baltimore isn't alone as far as US cities losing population. But it is unique in that city leaders appear to be trying their utmost to hasten its decline. Raising taxes instead of cutting them, hamstringing the police instead of allowing them to stem the violence, corrupt political leadership - it's a recipe for disaster.
So how to fix it? Rodricks wants the city to go all Angela Merkel:
Recruiting and welcoming immigrants was the best idea former Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake had. So let’s go. Let’s renew that effort, with gusto. Why not create a city-supported group to interview migrant families at the border and suggest they settle here? There are several Maryland-based, immigrant-support organizations that could help with that effort. The state’s congressional delegation could say to the Trump administration: OK, we’ll take some of the migrant families held at the border, but we need federal subsidies for transportation, housing, job placement, public education for children and language classes for adults.Why not set aside some city-owned, abandoned rowhouses and sell them to immigrant families that, like local families already in the program, establish stable incomes and agree to work with Habitat for Humanity of the Chesapeake to renovate and inhabit them? Follow Baltimore’s previous dollar-house model: Require families who get this benefit to live in the home for at least five years and, further, to enroll their kids in city schools.
Former German Chancellor Angela Merkel tried the exact same thing and not only lost her job, but changed the character of Germany forever. But specifically, who does Rodricks think is knocking on the door at the border to get in? College educated, middle class refugees? Or poor, uneducated migrants with few job skills?
I have no doubt many of those migrants are eager to work. They walked all the way here, most of them, and studies show that given the opportunity, they'd be taxpaying contributors to society.
But they would still be a drain on local and federal resources. For how long is hard to say. Some would certainly need public assistance for the rest of their lives. This has been the experience of European countries that welcomed millions of migrants. At the very least, it's something that should be seriously considered before Baltimore takes Trump up on his offer for migrants to settle there.
AMERICA: THE WORLD’S WELFARE OFFICE

With crime soaring, rampant homelessness,
sanctuary state status attracting the highest illegal immigrant population
in the country and its “worst state in the U.S. to do business” ranking for more than a decade,
California and its expansive, debt-ridden, progressive government is
devolving into a third-world country. JANET LEVY
"This is how they will destroy America from
within. The leftist billionaires who orchestrate these plans are
wealthy. Those tasked with representing us in Congress will never be exposed
to the cost of the invasion of millions of migrants. They have
nothing but contempt for those of us who must endure the consequences of our
communities being intruded upon by gang members, drug dealers and human
traffickers. These people have no intention of becoming Americans;
like the Democrats who welcome them, they have contempt for us." PATRICIA
McCARTHY
"Most Californians, who have seen
their taxes increase while public services deteriorate, already know the impact
that mass illegal immigration is having on their communities, but even they may
be shocked when they learn just how much of a drain illegal immigration has
become." FAIR President Dan Stein
ILLEGALS
& WELFARE
WE CAN’T
TAKE CARE OF OUR OWN, AND YET WE LET MEXICO BUILD THEIR BILLION DOLLAR WELFARE
STATE ON OUR BACKS!!!
70% OF
ILLEGALS GET WELFARE!
“According to the Centers for Immigration
Studies, April '11, at least 70% of Mexican illegal alien families receive some
type of welfare in the US!!! cis.org”
So when cities across the country declare that they will NOT be
sanctuary, guess where ALL the illegals, criminals, gang members fleeing ICE
will go???? straight to your welcoming city. So ironically the people fighting
for sanctuary city status, may have an unprecedented crime wave to deal with
along with the additional expense.

$17 Billion dollars a year is spent for education for the American-born
children of illegal aliens, known as anchor babies.
*
$12 Billion dollars a year is spent on primary and secondary
school education for children here illegally and they cannot speak a word
of English.
*
$22 billion is spent on (AFDC) welfare to illegal aliens each
year.
*
$2.2 Billion dollars a year is spent on food assistance programs
such as (SNAP) food stamps, WIC, and free school lunches for illegal
aliens.
*
$3 Million Dollars a DAY is spent to incarcerate illegal aliens.
30% percent of all Federal Prison inmates are illegal aliens.
Does not include local jails and State Prisons.
*
2012 illegal aliens sent home $62 BILLION in remittances back to
their countries of origin. This is why Mexico is getting involved in
our politics.
$200 Billion Dollars a year in suppressed American wages are
caused by the illegal aliens.
THE DISUNITED STATES: The world’s
welfare office!
America is a nation with a severe
housing crisis, a million legals who are homeless, tens of millions of legals
who have given up finding a job that pays living wages and yet the borders are
wide open to keep the hordes coming simply to keep wages DEPRESSED.
