City Mayors: The most polluted US cities
You know? If you were to do an investigation, you would find that many people that come here DO "go back" to wherever they came from after a few years. Most people are trying to break into the "industry" and work very low paying jobs believing it will catapult them to their "dream" job. After a few years of increased debt, suffering and not achieving their goals they leave. Only to be replaced with a new crop of "hopefuls".

Also, many illegals that come here will also leave after a couple of years to "cheaper" cities, because it's too expensive to be here. They find that instead of needing three or four roommates to survive and send money back to their families, they have to live with five or six. It's disgusting.
