Blue Cities in Downward Spiral: Cincinnati Spends on Immigrants While Facing Big Budget Cuts
Blue cities across America are spiraling downward fast, and Cincinnati is the latest sad example. The city faces a $29.5 million budget deficit and is warnin’ departments to prepare for possible 5% cuts across the board. At the same time, city leaders just approved $210,000 for the Immigrant and Refugee Law Center to give legal help and “know your rights” programs to immigrants — many facin’ deportation. They’re even talkin’ about addin’ $300,000 more to an Immigrant Emergency Fund. While American taxpayers watch their services get slashed and crime rises, leaders keep pourin’ money into helpin’ non-citizens. This upside-down priority is destroyin’ these once-great cities: higher taxes, empty downtowns, more crime, and fleein’ residents. Blue city leaders never learn — they keep doublin’ down on failed policies that hurt the very people who pay the bills. It’s time to wake up before more American cities go broke.
