I know how these changes work, as my childhood neighborhood too has changed dramatically over the years. Pilsen is different only because it is becoming (slightly) richer and lighter-complexioned, rather than the other way around. I’ve read a number of stories about pilsen and a common theme is lament at the…

They pushed out other ethnic groups in making Pilsen an Hispanic neighborhood. Pilsen has seen much ethnic flux over the years, but now that flux needs to end with them? Bullshit.

If it’s not ‘easy listening,’ then what is it? Seems way to mellow to be ‘pop.’

I have a hard time caring about this, given that Japan is perhaps the most racist and xenophobic country.

That’s exactly my point. It seems the current residents are upset with further demographic change.

“the streets of Pilsen, a much-loved Latinx neighborhood that has increasingly become a battleground between locals and gentrifiers.”

Hey dipshit, they’re coming here because the old world neanderthals made this country what it is today. It’s far easier for illegal immigrants to try to sponge off our success than it is to make their homelands a better place.

Who the fuck is bringing this utter nonsense out of the grays?

In my neck of the woods, yes.

Why won’t the Mexican govt make those conditions better? Because that would mean taxing their rich. Also, Illegal immigration is a double win for them - they get rid of their poorest, and get $20 billion in remittances annually.

Over 80% of the undocumented are Hispanic, so it makes sense to start there.

Disagreement =/= trolling.

The only deportation I personally know of was an Irish nanny who overstayed a visa and wasn’t supposed to be working.

Not as weird as the names they pick. She’ll need to work hard to outdo “Blue Ivy.”

San Francisco’s refusal to work with the federal government to combat illegal immigration is directly responsible for the death of Kathryn Steinle. You’d think they would learn from their mistakes.

“It is extraordinarily difficult to get into this country, both as a refugee and as a visa holder.”

What’s wrong with that idea? Most people do feel that way, which is why only a handful of countries absorb the vast majority of the world’s excess population.

She knows she’s getting bent over tonight.
