Jesse stirs up the hate, let him deal with the problem he promotes...sending in Feds means my tax dollars. I’d rather they go for building a fence. They want all this money to fix the problems they cause rather than spending the money in the ROOT cause.

As much as I hate all the wasted government anti-poverty programs..I'd like to conduct one grand experiment..it would be worth it..

Camden, NJ is arguably the worst city in America, and has been so for years..crime, poverty, schools, etc..the population is about 75,000. So let's give every man, woman and child $100,000..tax free..to do whatever they wish with it...and yes..some families, with several kids..could get as much as $500,000, even more. They could move out..put their kids in a private school, buy a house, a car, medical care, a rehab facility, vacations.......ANYTHING they want to do. They only condition would be is that they'd have to account weekly what and where they spent the money on..even if it was for illegal items...i.e. drugs, gambling, prostitution. They'd be guaranteed completely anonymity, and immunity from any illegal activity.

We'd have to add a few million more to pay some social scientists, and other staffers..to track it..and see after a few years.

Yes, no doubt it would end up being a total waste of almost a billion...but it would be fascinating..

Aren’t the drug cartels also heavy into Chicago also?

The Chicago Crime Commission, a non-governmental agency that tracks crime trends in the region, said it considers Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman even more menacing than Capone because Guzman leads the deadly Sinaloa cartel which supplies most of the narcotics sold in Chicago and the Chicagoland area, and in many cities across the U. S.

Said a commission member, "People think that the border is 1700 miles away so this is not our problem. Well, it is. These days we operate as if Chicago is ON the border."

Sinaloa cartel members have also surfaced in Columbus, Ohio, Louisville, Kentucky, also in Indiana, North Carolina, Michigan, Minnesota and Pennsylvania.

So you think your little slice of heaven in the midwest doesn't have Mexican drug cartels operating under your nose?

See #28....

....and why haven't we ever heard about this mafioso espanol...and why is "Sinaloa" not a household word?

Don’t forget the community 0 organized was controlled by a black Muslim street gang organized by a Mexican drug cartel. JJs half bro Noah ROBINSON is doing life for his involvement. ( That’s Robinson as in MO) Its been reported:
They were all close until Noah’s arrest
You don’t really think 0 going to close the border and endanger MO & JJs family business do you?

Not even that. Exclusively White in Detroit was 7.8% as of 2010 (just 56,000 people). You’d have to go back to about 1865 when the city had that few number of Whites (and at that time, they made up 97% of the population).

Even Blacks are voting with their feet in Detroit. They reached a zenith in 1990 (780,000). In 2010 it dropped to 590,000, roughly the total Black population around 1965. Only the Hispanic population increased, and that by just 1,500 over 2000 (now at 49,000).

If the trends hold, Hispanics have likely already eclipsed the White population in Detroit in the past 2 years. Barring a turn-around, I recall reading an article in the ‘90s that expects the city to probably bottom out at or around 300,000 or so (its population around 1900, before the auto industry boomed).

To answer your point, quite so, in many urban locales, calling Blacks (or even some Hispanics), a “minority” is not technically correct. Remarkably for Chicago, it’s a three-way split between them. How long that will hold is the question.
