Using Immigration to help places like Detroit

[Troyfan]

There is a reason Toyota, Nissan, BMW, Mercedes, VW Hunday are in Kentucky, SC, Tennessee, Mississippi. The reason is that these are right to work states. No UAW. That is why these companies are successful.

Detroit has the UAW. As long as it does it will be Beyond Thunderdome. No company can operate with that union. Look at Chrysler/Fiat. The UAW (not the leadership maybe) wants to go back to the pre-bankruptcy wage scale: exactly what bankrupted the companies. What company wants a union that will bankrupt it?

Until Detroit foreswears it old, bad ways it will have to live with the desolation they have caused.

The southern automakers mimic UAW contracts. If they didn't, their workforce would jump ship. It's all been a notable case of the free-rider problem. Southern auto workers reap gains from the efforts of unions but pay no dues.

People living in poverty and being homeless, they are such for a reason. They CANNOT be productive members of society, nor can they build a productive society. Even if you start subsidizing them heavily, most of them won't be able to create profitable enterprises.
