    Immigration is one of the best solutions to fix rural America.

    So of course rural Americans are going to be against it.

        Plenty of space and opportunities for revitalization. All they need are people living there.

        I am 100% in favor of expanding immigration with the stipulation that additional immigrants must live in rural areas.

          https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghetto

          Downvoted for this and the parent comment is upvoted for literally wanting immigrants to be segregated. Wtf is wrong with people here…

          From the wiki article: A ghetto is a part of a city in which members of a minority group live, especially as a result of political, social, legal, religious, environmental or economic pressure.

          This is what the parent comment wants, they want immigrants to be legally bound to certain areas within the country. They want immigrants bound to ghettos.

      Why do you think it needs “fixing” anyway? Rural America is great already.

          A question is not an opinion. Did you reply to the wrong comment? Or do you have an answer to my question?

              Living in it, having a great life with my family, because I was able to afford to buy a home with land (I own several acres of land and a house), very clean air and water, no city stenches or noises.

              All of you city dwellers sound so miserable struggling to pay for life’s basic necessities and I’m out here just relaxing enjoying my contentment in the woods. I have a great job and all my needs are met, along with all the needs of my family.

              I most likely couldn’t achieve any of this except getting a “great job” in the city.
