it is so easy to conceive of a mutually beneficial immigration plan where these people are moved to rust belt cities in population decline

Too bad they aren't Ukrainian and the right color.
all the Ukrainians refugees who got moved to the Ukrainian suburb of my city are now being ostracized for being too slavic
The question is whether they’ll realize their idealized vision of the US was a false one or go overdrive in showing how much of an American they are.
The democrats are having their own Rwanda plan moment, literally wtf, why? Who are they pandering to with this?
I'm only partially joking when I say that to plan policy maybe Biden's team has an imaginary couple that they pretend to talk to. And the couple are huge fans of cracking down on illeg— erm... cracking down on the undocumented.
Chuck Schumer talks to his imaginary couple Joe and Eileen Bailey.

[Schumer] turned for consolation and advice to his imaginary friends, Joe and Eileen Bailey. No, I'm not making this up. Sen. Schumer actually says this: "Though they are imaginary, I frequently talk to them. To me, they represent the hard-working and often-ignored families who are not tuned in to special-interest newsletters or editorial pages, but want a little something more from their government and their leaders."
What. The. Fuck?
It's like Australia's system where they dump refugees 1,000s of miles away on the tiny island nation of Nauru which is northeast of Australia.

Its phosphate reserves once made a speck in the Pacific one of the richest countries on Earth. Today Nauru is broke, barren and beholden to its neighbour
You know, I knew Biden was gonna be terrible on this when part of his campaign in 2020 mentioned he was at the forefront of helping get conditional aid delivered to parts of Central America (the conditions, 'shockingly' not noted on the campaign website, were that those countries had to take steps the US deemed 'acceptable' to prevent their citizens from trying to immigrate to the US), among many other things (like being pro wall in 2006)
But even I didn't think we'd replay the 'Back to Africa' shit from the 1800's where we're just sending people to a completely foreign land and area
Can i volunteer to resettle?
Right? Like, I really want out of this place
I was thinking the same shit. I'll take an EU passport and a trip to Italy.
