A weakening economy and increasing political repression are forcing ever more Chinese people to emigrate. Spurred by TikTok, many are seeking more sustainable conditions in the United States.

    Good! The more immigration the better!

    I only wish we could have a stipulation that additional immigrants must live outside of major cities, so they can help revitalize America’s dying towns.

        Rural America is better than a lot of places in the world.

        I’m sure many immigrants would be ecstatic to have the opportunity.

          I live in a rural town (1 hour+ drive in any drection to the next town) and I could see this being a good thing if implemented correctly. This town isn’t equipped for an influx of any people, but has vacant lots that could be turned into a variety of housing. There aren’t a lot of jobs, but I would think more people would mean more things could be offered. Potentially great way to invest in rural areas!

            Heck yeah! Remember, the alternative would be these immigrants being unable to immigrate to the US!

            If they would prefer to stay outside of the US rather than live in rural America, nobody is forcing them to come!

      I think most will agree immigration is good, but this “let’s let everyone in!” mentality is dangerous. China is not our friend…we need to be vetting these people, making sure that everyone who’s trying to get in are properly screened.
