A Discussion of US Immigration Policy

Eric Adams gave immigrants both barrels last night and said the city New Yorkers knew is going to disappear. I obviously have no clue if he is right or not but good on him for speaking his truth.
 
Like how the gritty, gross NYC of the 70s disappeared. And the mob-controlled NYC of the 40s and 50s disappeared.

My god, the desperate need to cling to some fictional past that never existed is just gross. F Eric Adams. He's Rudy with different skin color. Hopefully he doesn't turn out the same way Rudy has...

Black Renaissance Harlem is worth bringing back, though, even if it never existed.

And so is art deco stylish 1930s Manhattan.

But it can never been the true, lived-in city, it has to be touches around the edges. Garnish. The workaday city will always be driven by the people getting through their day. It's never artistic. It's lowest common denominator but for just this once not in an aesthetically pejorative way, it's just: how things get done, and how people live through it.

Only time I’ll read or post here, but we are all immigrants. Just met a real local, one who dates his family back thousands of years.

Lets be nice to the locals and remember everyone else are immigrants all trying to better themselves.

Not to push this to an absurd level, but didn't that land itself come from somewhere else?

Yeah, that's how I see it.

We sure spend a lot of time on the Middle East while everything south of us is falling apart.
