Legal, illegal, or both combined?
Wow 6 of the 10 cities are either in Michigan or Ohio (or border them ... Penn. for example). Depressing. I live near Toledo and you get the sense this area is NEVER going to recover.
Those who rule us don't ever want that recovery to occur. That would mean prosperity.. jobs.. hope.. those are anathema to those who want the country's populace on its knees begging for scraps from the government.
Someone define “city”....those all seem like large TOWNS to me.
how many are democrat strongholds?
how many did not make the list (Detroit) because they are already dead?
Things must be bad in Michigan and Ohio. Even the illegals and the dead beats don’t want to go there.
Johnstown, PA hitched their wagon to the corrupt John Murtha after the steel industry went down. For thirty years they relied on him bringing home government pork to keep the town employed.
Eventually he went the way of all flesh. And the jobs he extorted moved on to the next corrupt Congressman to chair that committee.
It will be a ghost town within a decade or so.
As they said in Michigan during the Carter recession: Last one out of Michigan turn off the lights.
“Things must be bad in Michigan and Ohio. Even the illegals and the dead beats don’t want to go there.”
There are plenty of them here in the Cleveland Dakron area!
Who in the world would want to live in those miserable places. Run by a bunch of corrupt democrats who have run those midwestern states into the dirt.
that's just legal immigration:
I hope that is true
If true it's the best news I've heard in a long time
we don't need any more immigrants when we have 330 million people in the USA and lowest workforce participation
go home you 3rd world socialists or stay home!
of course illegals are probably up so that's not good. but at least all support me on here against illegals. i am against any immigration from the 3rd world
I have personal knowledge of the Cumberland, Maryland area. I went to college in that area. I also worked in the state department of planning in Cumberland for a time while in school.
When I was there, in the mid 1970s, it was an economically depressed area. People talked about the cutbacks and closures of major manufacturing such as Kelly Springfield Tires, Celanese Fortrel, and PPG. Population was declining. Coal mining exists in that part of Maryland, and it too was declining at that time.
It is striking to me that, at least in the case of Cumberland, from this list, the area was known to be economically disadvantaged decades ago. It strikes me how difficult it can be to turn things around. Civic leaders at that time despaired at the economic circumstances of that area. And they continue to do so today. It’s as if nothing has changed. I wonder how many other places on the list are also chronically depressed over a period of decades, with little to show for any attempts at economic revival.
All thanks to the EPA and Agenda 21. The New World Order plan is wonderful and living under the United Nations is going to be even better!
Saginaw, Michigan - Lefty Frizzell
I was born in Saginaw, Michigan.
I grew up in a house on Saginaw Bay.
My dad was a poor hard working Saginaw fisherman:
Too many times he came home with too little pay.
I loved a girl in Saginaw, Michigan.
The daughter of a wealthy, wealthy man.
But he called me: “That son of a Saginaw fisherman.”
And not good enough to claim his daughter’s hand.
Now I’m up here in Alaska looking around for gold.
Like a crazy fool I’m a digging in this frozen ground, so cold.
But with each new day I pray I’ll strike it rich and then,
I’ll go back home and claim my love in Saginaw, Michigan.
I wrote my love in Saginaw, Michigan.
I said: “Honey, I’m a coming home, please wait for me.
“And you can tell your dad, I’m coming back a richer man
“I’ve hit the biggest strike in Klondike history.”
Her dad met me in Saginaw, Michigan.
He gave me a great big party with champagne.
Then he said: “Son, you’re wise, young ambitious man.
“Will you sell your father-in-law your Klondike claim?”
Now he’s up there in Alaska digging in the cold, cold ground.
The greedy fool is a looking for the gold I never found.
It serves him right and no-one here is missing him.
Least of all the newly-weds of Saginaw, Michigan.
We’re the happiest man and wife in Saginaw, Michigan.
He’s ashamed to show his face in Saginaw, Michigan.
they are trying to conceal Chicago, NYC, LA, SF, etc.
For Farmington,New Mexico
“the area’s per capita personal income was $33,092 in 2012, among the lowest in the country”
—
That figure make absolutely sense. One of the lowest? I don’t think so.

Johnstown, PA hitched their wagon to the corrupt John Murtha after the steel industry went down. For thirty years they relied on him bringing home government pork to keep the town employed.
KARMA....she’s a b#tch. couldn’t happen to a better collection of parasites.
Oops,typo Re Post 17-—Makes NO sense.

And yes, they are more large towns than cities. Saginaw, Steubenville, Carson City, Cumberland, Pine Bluff, etc., you've got to be kidding me! Around here, we call towns of that size suburbs.
