Let Syrians Settle Detroit (NY Times editorial alert)
NY Times ^ | May 14, 2015 | David D. Laitin and Marc Jahr

Detroit, a once great city, has become an urban vacuum. Its population has fallen to around 700,000 from nearly 1.9 million in 1950. The city is estimated to have more than 70,000 abandoned buildings and 90,000 vacant lots. Meanwhile, desperate Syrians, victims of an unfathomable civil war, are fleeing to neighboring countries, with some 1.8 million in Turkey and 600,000 in Jordan.

Suppose these two social and humanitarian disasters were conjoined to produce something positive.

Gov. Rick Snyder of Michigan, a Republican, has already laid the groundwork.

Grants from the federal government and from philanthropic foundations would be needed to help the local Arab-American community supply social services for the newcomers.

This brilliant idea will undoubtedly help the city recover from bankruptcy ... will result in much needed racial harmony between tolerant blacks and peaceful Muzzies ... provided that the government geniuses who thought it up can somehow convince the refugees to stay in their new homes and not try to get the hell out of Dodge!

F-ing retarded idea. Besides Bush (The JEB) has dibs on Detroit for illegal central Americans.

Uh, no.
“Peaceful Muslims” are a plague on the earth and incompatible with American culture.
No.

Of course, they're probably not used to the Detroit level of devastation.

Consider this a punishment from God. A plague. The question we must ask ourselves is: what did we do to earn this plague?

If there were not prior proof that the NYT is the enemy, this is most definitely it.

The NYT is the enemy, and I fully expect ALL EMPLOYEES to bear the brunt of the retaliation following CW-II.

Wipe them out.

All of them.

Why do the editors of the NY Times want to resettle refugees in a slum? Why don’t they suggest that the refugees be resettled next door to them on the upper west side, for example?

I categorize peaceful Muslims with GOPe politicians.
History shows them both to be totally undeserving of any trust.

I am in favor of allowing Syrian CHRISTIANS come in to Detroit. But serious... Muslims?

It would make an exsting disaster zone even more of a disaster which would prompt calls of “need more funding” that would then feed the money, money that the left will launder into their machine....

Whoa, you’re going full Palpatine? Isn’t it early to go full Palpatine? I don’t debate the wisdom of your opinion, just the timing.
