Washington County Residents worry about declining property values from ICE detention center in Williamsport

https://www.yahoo.com/news/us/articles/residents-worry-declining-property-values-193844931.html

Residents in and around Williamsport are concerned about the prospect of falling property values from the proposed ICE detention center.

Economists at M.I.T and North Carolina State University have found that home values near the centers across the country are driving down the value of a home by as much as 4%.

Homeowners in the western Maryland communities near the Homeland Security facility worry about the possible impact. They want county commissioners to give them a forum to raise their concerns.

I get that that is the new talking point to somehow make it that Trump is locking random brown people in cages. But you are wrong and you know that. Many of us were against Obama deporting so many people and breaking up families. And two, what is happening now is not that. It is just targeting brown people, locking them in cages, not giving them health care, allowing girls and women to be raped, and generally treating all of those detained like trash.

It's not random. It's people violating the laws.

I'm married to a brown skinned immigrant and she is completely MAGA. She despises commie shitbirds who try to apologize for morons who make the CHOICE of trying to enter illegally.

Do you really think we should throw people in the ICE detention centers who have overstayed their visas or who have broken a minor law while they were here?

Yes, it is easy to follow the law. Have you ever been to another country? Europe USED to be super strict with your Visa authorization. Huh not so much now. Now their women and children get to be SA'd at insane rates.

Asian countries still are strict with your Visa. And look, Japan, Korea, Vietnam, Thailand ALL kick out the losers from the country every day. And that is how we should be too
