Deport immigrants? People are going to be running to the fucking border if there is a place that can give them a shot at affordable housing. US, Canada and most of the world in crisis because free markets only build high-end homes.
s/high-end/high-priced/
They have universal healthcare too. They're starting to shine.
Damn, strong policy that will actually help regular people acquire a fundamental human need without taking them for absolutely everything they are worth?
Can't believe she hasn't been assassinated yet.
If she legalized drugs, she'd be assassinated for sure.
With policies like this they better build a wall
Trump said he would build a wall. He said he'd get Mexico to pay for it. You all said he wasn't playing 4D chess shakin my smh-in head
Just build homes along the border. I know they got border towns already. Make 1 long border town wall.
Even Mexico cares more about their citizens than the USA. We send them back and they get social assistance.
The US is at the bottom of the list for caring about citizens in any metric. No paid maternity or paternity leave, most expensive healthcare in the world, no guaranteed vacation, sick, or Holiday pay.
Yep, neo-liberalism, the bankers society.
Remember that when you need to focus your anger somewhere, or if you're terminal and want to take some of the trash out with you. It's their fault; evidences by which professions are rewarded - almost none of which are necessary for society, or people in general, to thrive.
Maybe. A million houses only puts a small dent in things. Who is making these million houses?
Also, will there be something in place to prevent everyone from just charging a lot more for houses? At 5%apr you may only be able to afford a 150,000 home, but at 0% they can charge you 400,000 for it.
According to the article the government is building them, selling them, and providing subsidized loans for them.
What left leaning policies does to a mf (mexican friend)
I might be deported there bcz my dad came from there in the 1960s.
Looks like the housing market is going to be better there at least, so you've got that going for you! Hell, maybe they're anticipating an incoming deportation crisis and that's why they're building.
On a more serious note, I do hope nobody will forcefully deport you and that you get to keep on living in the country where you always have and probably plan on continuing to live in. My country suffered through two mass deportation events several decades before I was born and this is STILL affecting families. I don't wish for anyone else to have to go through this.
Meanwhile in America, they are criminalizing being homeless and /or poor
We've been here before. I've seen the housing they come up with. It's basically a bunch of tiny ass houses all in the same block next to each other in the middle of nowhere.
