In capitalism, the way it should work, is if a place like nyc is too expensive, people should move out. There are plenty of cheaper places to live. Or in nyc landlords would lower their rent if no one can afford it, but places are full. But the problem always solved itself, unless govt puts in perverse socialist incentives to get illegals and criminals to stay.

Or, we can go to reality where restrictions exist so that crooked landlords and companies cannot rob people blind, that is how capitalism works, it is not unchecked greed. If you are so worried about illegals and criminals, YOU move somewhere without them, after all, you have money right, so should be no problem to put money where that gaping hole is.

Move out of nyc if too expensive

Do dems really expect most voters to care about that non issue? And I should move cuz of illegals? Do you really believe this ahit.

You really believe that every single illegal should move for you, so stop being a hypocrite and do it yourself. I do not live in NYC, my company has a huge building there right off broadway, so I go there often, and I could certainly AFFORD to live there, but the point is not that I can afford it, it's that I am paying 50x what the damn housing should be already. I don't know about you, but the illegals are no where NEAR where I live already, and I would prefer to instead have that SUBSTANCIAL amount of money I am paying for quite literally no other reason than to make the rich fucks richer, but that money could go to me getting an electric porsche taycan 4s half paid off in a single year with the difference in what we pay.

Also, I am not a dem. No clue what in the WORLD would make you even remotly say that, none of my posts are far left bullshit, or the cancer called ideology, but I assume that much like common sense you also do not read past the first sentence, or look at post histories... just flap that jaw confidently ignorant to reality. The bulk of your partial sentence replies stink of incel and a lack of knowledge that frankly is slightly alarming. You are a clown essentially, and I do not waste my time with clowns or forum trolls. Good day sir, I will not reply again, and I hope you get priced out of your home, you deserve it afterall.

I understand that you have strong opinions regarding housing costs, but it's important to approach discussions with respect and avoid personal attacks. It's crucial to consider that immigration issues are multifaceted and complex, and generalizing the situation may not accurately represent the experiences of individuals. Let's focus on fostering an inclusive and constructive dialogue to understand different perspectives on this matter.

TLDR but yeah deport all illegals

Deporting all undocumented immigrants is not a just or humane solution. It would tear families apart and harm our economy. We need comprehensive immigration reform, not mass deportation.

Very just. And required by law. And would help economy a lot.

Ignoring trolls is the best way to neutralize their negativity. Engaging with them only gives them the attention they crave. Stay focused on positive interactions and don't let trolls ruin your online experience.
