Pete Buttigieg, (snip) proposed Tuesday to repopulate struggling communities by offering special visas to immigrants who agree to move to those towns.
The “community renewal” visas would be targeted to communities that have lost working-age population over the last 10 years as well as smaller cities that are lagging economically. Under the proposal, which is included in a rural policy plan Buttigieg unveiled while campaigning in Iowa, visa holders would be eligible to apply for green cards after living in the targeted community for at least three years.
“We have a plan to help grow jobs, to help grow population, and to help grow infrastructure that’s going to make sure that rural America can actually succeed going forward,” the South Bend, Ind., mayor told reporters during a stop at the Iowa State Fair in Des Moines.
Buttigieg said the visa proposal is based on the idea that depressed areas need “not just a job growth strategy but a population--growth strategy.” He emphasized that communities could choose whether or not to participate in the visa program.
Other proposals in Buttigieg’s plan overlap with plans released by former Vice President Joe Biden, Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders and others.
To reduce greenhouse gas emissions, Buttigieg proposes offering financial incentives to farmers to encourage carbon-conserving practices. He also calls for tougher enforcement of antitrust laws to protect farmers from the market power of agribusiness interests, and he proposes steps to expand rural broadband.
Buttigieg wants the Justice Department to investigate the recent mergers in the seed business that combined Dow and DuPont, and Bayer and Monsanto.
“The growing market power of corporations—particularly among processing plants and seed companies—means that the reinvigoration of the rural economy depends on a new era of heightened scrutiny of corporate mergers,”

This guy is not a moderate!
Democratform rural America? Thanks but no thanks.
Replacement migration.
You folks over here abort all your babies.
These new folks from over there will have babies for you.
Sounds great...as long as all immigrants have to come from “under-represented” regions — Eastern Europe.
Re industrializing the heartland is what will bring those ‘rural’ places back. These people are economic retards.
to repopulate struggling communities
= = =
Detroit?
Watts?
Others?
Keep talking Butt boy
An absolute horror!
And the corrupt CIA’s candidate.
Sounds great? R U freaking out of your mind?
So Buttigieg wants to bring immigrants into the rural communities that are struggling in order to compete for the declining jobs!! This is the essence of why government “planning” fails so miserably.
Mayor Buttigieg calls for seeding the red states with Democrats. That is the essence of his program. There are few jobs in rural areas but there are many electoral votes to mine by planting illegals in red states.
The more I look at it, the more I believe Buttgoopy is the globalist, CIA / deep-state Manchurian candidate. He is the praetorian guard’s choice for the throne after Obama.
This guy is a Stalinist!!!
Gramscian garbage.
Of course, Preacher Pete knows that. He just doesn't care.
Don’t worry, Farmer Brown, Mayor Pete is going to import some Honduran rape gangs to keep your daughters company.
That should win him a lot of votes in the heartland.
Get the new dark skinned people out into the rural communities and have them grow crops. Cotton might be a good choice. Who could complain about that? And if they try to leave the plantation, we’ll deport them.
The problem is that urban Democrat voters will actually see this is a "solution" to a problem. Stuff like this will make Buttigieg a tougher opponent for President Trump than Bernie.
Democratform rural America? Thanks but no thanks.

BINGO...We have a winner!
People choose to live someplace....or not live there....based on economic factors. Let the market decide.
