I think the US should allow all refugees and illegals into the US but immediately ship them all to sanctuary cities.
Oh and cut off all federal aid dollars to them.
18Montclair gave you plenty of statistical evidence and yet here you are refuting it. Talk about ignorance. This is EXACTLY why the left is "intolerant", because facts cannot be ignored period. Spin it whatever you want, facts are facts. If you can't accept it, then please, drown yourself for the sake of everyone else.
It's funny how liberals in cities like San Francisco, Portland and Seattle always complain about how the influx of people and increased cost of housing is "ruining the character of our neighborhoods", then they label people in Middle America as "Nativists" for wanting to control who immigrates to the U.S.
Liberalism: "I'm allowed to want to preserve my way of life, but you aren't."
Its even more so than most people understand. Northern California in particular has been using gentrification to resist what has gone on in So Cal. It does so under the cover of environmentalism which restricts the supply of housing.

Here is that right wing mythology again. Always telling the left what it believes. And virtually always wrong.
The cost of CA housing is driven by the free market. It is a highly desirable place to live. Poverty levels are mildly high simply because it is a lot nicer place to live then elsewhere.
Would be nice if the right would adopt a new myth once in a while.
He's talking about crime rates over the last decade, you're talking about just 2015?
Are you going to nitpick a small subset of data to prove that crime is going up when the overall trend is going down? How about you get a brain and start using it for once.
Kate Steinle was a sad but highly unusual incident that xenophobic trolls have been MILKING well past it's shelf life.
I live here, I walk around town, I drive, I take the subway, I eat out, shop, etc and I dont feel encroached upon by beedy-eyed brown people who want to kill me and reclaim my city for Mexico.
Stop it.
No you look at the trends over an extended period of time-increases in crime in the past 3-year period still amounts to major improvements over the long term.
Los Angeles is a much safer city now than when I lived there. Downtown is booming and the air is much improved.
Yes but this is not due to a lack of good governance. What'a your point?
Nope. Backwards Neoconservatives stand in the way of progress
So people are xenophobic if they want illegal criminals deported ? Wow
What an insult to all the victims of these crimes .
You really think Kate Steinle was the only one killed or harmed by illegals ?
This is a bad side effect of the liberal media that chooses to rarely report on crime caused by illegals .

Yankees did the same thing during and after the Civil War.
"We want to free the slaves!" --- "...but, we don't want them living in our neighborhoods though" --- "they can have their own neighborhoods"
