Yawn;
If you keep supporting "immigration" and crying about the flipping ethnic
minorties you will get this.
1 More forrest will need to be bulldozed.
2 higher density housing will need to be built on lower density housing
3 If you are unselective in regards to the kind of "ethnic minorities" you
let in as well as being unselective of the people you let into your welfare
dreamworld you will keep having to spend money on 'community projects' to
try and abate the social and racial problems of maladjsted,maladpated, low
IQ individuals.
4 If you keep bringing in several hundered thousand immigrants, asylum
seekers and tollerating illegals you will push of the price of housing,
depress low skilled job wages and make it difficult for young people to
afford to get engaged, married and have kids.
So this 'eviction' is a result of the self same ethno-marxist immigraion
policies you undoutably support. Do you get it?
