    What is that even supposed to mean? How does ICE raiding neighborhoods in full riot gear have anything to do with things being “free”? Don’t answer that, bcz i dont care what you have to say. You’re post history shows your opinions are insufferable. Maybe just stick to the Linux subs, where you can be insufferable and nobody cares.

      @NocturnalMorning It means people coming from other countries illegally and getting free stuff here, in Seattle luxury hotels, cars, and drivers licenses so they can vote, and unfortunately drive, isn’t free, it’s paid for by the legitimate citizens who worked for that money and now have to go without things.

        Please research the actual economic impacts of illegal immigration before speaking on the matter. Your fellow users will thank you.

          @Feathercrown I live within 13 miles of a sanctuary city, I’ve seen the economic impacts first hand, no jobs, cities land values falling by 50%, tent cities everywhere, human shit on the sidewalks everywhere, fentynal overdoses everywhere. About the only thing that has benefited economically is that we can get cheep street drugs, oh that and hookers. But since I’m not into either, no benefit for me.

            I wish property values dropped by 50%! I would actually buy a house back there.

            Having lived in multiple sanctuary cities I’m comfortable saying every single point you’re attempting to make is the kind of pure bullshit one would only believe if their only source is Twitter or broadcast news.

              @untorquer Ok to be fair mostly commercial real-estate property values dropped 50%, single family homes, nope, but that’s because instead of building single family homes, they are bulldozing them to build ugly apartment complexes, and then they wonder why families aren’t moving to Seattle and nobodies having kids. You can’t raise a kid in an apartment decently, Family Affair was 100% fictional.

                People not having kids isn’t because someone else came and took a minimum wage or less job, the drug trade, or shit on the sidewalk. It’s because there aren’t jobs that are widely accessible with pay commensurate with cost of living.

                Don’t be mad at immigrants for being exploited, be mad at the people exploiting them and the government which refuses to enforce cost of living wage or other social services such as, for example, healthcare and high quality public transit.

                  @untorquer These jobs aren’t available because with the illegals taking the minimum wage jobs, other jobs that would be higher paying are now being taken by the former minimal wage workers at low rates. I’ve been here for 66 years, I’ve had the opportunity to see the before and after.

                    The job pays too low across the board. Blame the bosses and the politicians enabling low wages, not the exploited laborers.
