People just like to live/work/play/marry/hang out with/associate with people similar to them or are like them…
This is true for companies, the executive suite (white male/WASP people…), engineering teams (I’ve heard at QCOM, you have plenty of “racial” groups against other racial groups…etc).
Piggs here don’t want to live in south county or east county because they don’t see, perhaps other people like them and don’t act/behave the same…
Like I can care less about the SD Chargers…I used to rent and some people were chargers fans making noise drinking beer every Sunday…Nice enough people, but not really people I care to hang with or associate with or really have a conversation with neither.
That said, I don’t criticize people who DO want to live in South or East County, but most Asians that are similar to my general background won’t want to live there neither.
Maybe people aren’t against illegal immigrants trying to live productive crime free lives and pay taxes, but what if you suddenly accept millions in refugees all the time? The cost for that would be staggering in terms of healthcare, etc…You already have every shop in SF charging tax for healthcare.
As for jobs, if you are a student or someone working for minimum wage, having MORE competition for your job can’t be a good thing.
I can understand some people simply being against any immigrants since there are always unintended consequences when any decision is made for anything.
No matter how productive the immigrants are.
I don’t buy that only immigrants can do certain jobs neither…or companies can’t find US workers to do it.
