Lansing's plan for immigration and Detroit?

[Honky Tonk]

Latest numbers show Michigan still with a 8.4% unemployment rate. http://www.milmi.org/
And that's including the seasonal bump for part time Christmas help.
No issue per se with immigrants. But bringing in non-citizens to work should not be at the expense of our local residents.

"The type of visas involved are not allocated by region or state, and go to legal immigrants with advanced degrees or who show exceptional ability in certain fields."

A lot of Detroiters currently don't possess those skills. Tricky-Dick is banking that the influx of talent will then draw businesses to Detroit, and these "new" Detroiters populating the area, therefore growth. Whatever deal is made, it has to be worded carefully to: a.) Stop out of State businesses from luring the "talented" imigrants away. b). Requireing the new "talented" immigrants to actually live in and maintain Detroit proper, and not head for the 'burbs as soon as they land. I'll give Snyder this, right or wrong, weak or strong, @ least he's trying something new. He's not sitting on his fat can waiting for bacon to materialize.
