NYT: Immigrants Will Repopulate Small Towns!
21st May 2018
Steve Sailer pulls back the curtain.
Immigration is so often sold in the Anglosphere like this: as a way to revitalize depopulating small towns. Yet, immigrants themselves overwhelmingly prefer to flock to the big, expensive cities of Australia, Canada, and the U.S., exacerbating the affordable housing crisis.
For example, when there was a huge energy boom in North Dakota a few years ago, the new arrivals were predominantly Americans. Immigrants don’t want to move to Hicksville, USA, and if they have to, it’s only until they can move to the big city.
Filipinos in the US, for instance, have been flocking to the bright lights of Las Vegas, contributing to the 2008 Housing Bubble/Burst there. Filipinos don’t want to live in some rural Nowheresville, they want to live close to the MGM Grand Arena where Senator Manny Pacquiao fights Floyd Mayweather.
