[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MoCo is lost already. Illegal immigration is changing the dynamics of the county for forever.

By 2040, the county will be a majority minority (75% minority, 25% non-minority).  If you read the Montgomery County Planning Commission's report, population growth for the county is almost entirely driven by 'international migration'....which is just code speak for illegal immigration.  The single largest country of origin for new arrivals is from El Salvador.  MoCo faces an exploding population of baby boomers who's HHI, on average, is only $45,000.  Homeownership rates for younger people in MoCo (45 years old and below) is dropping drastically while homeownership rates for old people aged 65 and older is increasing.  The number of people who will be in their prime earning years is set to decrease from now until 2040 while the number of retirees who'll provide almost no taxable revenue on their income is increasing.  The huge influx of illegal immigration into the county is straining schools and school capacity, and county has to spend millions of dollars per year on ESL teachers.  On top of that, the county will be expected to build more schools to handle capacity and the large amount of students from parents who came here illegally.  MoCo is not growing economically and creating almost no jobs.

The entire county is going down the tubes.  It is a combination of increasing budget deficits, illegal immigration that's straining the capacity for schools, declining tax revenue, increasing unaffordability, increasing retirees who are hogging homes + will require tremendous amounts of resources/pension payouts, and 0 economic growth.  What it means is that taxes are almost certain to go up on whoever is left in the county that is still young and in their prime earning years.  School quality and public services will deteriorate as the crunch for the county's finances becomes worse.  People will flee.  And the cycle will keep repeating itself until the county is decimated.

Foreign born is not made up of mostly illegal immigrants.

37% from Asian
37% from Latin America
16% from Africa
9% from Europe

Some people are moving out of Moco; many others are moving in. Hence the $700K+ newly built townhomes along the metro (and $900K+ in Crown).  I'm guessing that illegal immigrants can't afford these new townhomes[/quote]

Nonsense.  Again, the single largest country of origin for new comers is from El Salvador.  The percent of new 'international' arrivals from El Salvador is double that of the next country on the list.  We all know the country has a huge influx of illegal immigrants coming here from Central America and from countries like El Salvador.  The planning commission likely purposefully makes no distinction between immigrants coming to the county who are legal vs those who are illegal. It's a strategy to try shut up all discussion on the topic, because if they mix in illegal.immigration with legal immigration and call it 'international movement' you can obfuscate the true numbers of people arriving here illegally and can hide just how much economically it is costing the county to have to do things like increase school capacity and provide ESL fld those arriving here illegally.  My father was an immigrant.  My wife is an immigrant. They came here legally. I'm all for legal immigration, but I'm not completely blind to the fact either that illegal immigration can cause school and healthcare systems and their resources to be strained to the max.  And those residing here who are higher earners will be expected to pick up the tax bills.  [/quote]
