for what purpose

 Listening to the news this morning about construction taking a downturn. The expert explaining that typically the mortgage rate isn't set until after the house is built. In todays' market that can be an issue. If you applied for a mortgage at a certain rate figuring that is just what you can afford but the rate rises, you may not be able to afford that any longer. That is the reason many are canceling their builds. The expert says 7% more people are doing just that this year than last. He goes on to say, we have a housing shortage in America. It is that statement that led me to think, where are all these migrants going to live? Earlier on the broadcast it was reported over 200,000 migrants had crossed the southern border in the last month alone! A housing shortage sure seems likely to me. Probably the very reason we are seeing communities of tents, shacks, and whatever springing up across the land. We are becoming a third world country, at least in appearance.
 I live in a town with a population hovering around 2000. A hundred times that number crossed the southern border in a single month, a staggering statistic if you think about that. A housing problem? I certainly would think so. Even here in tiny little Greensboro we have homes filled to the brim with those not born in this country. I'm not so concerned with their immigration status as with the conditions they are creating. It isn't safe, sanitary or legal! I rent an apartment and am subject to inspections, for compliance to codes and regulations, while others live in "secret" under the radar in questionable conditions. 
 It is a valid question. Where are all those people going to live? Apparently, there are areas in the country where they won't be allowed, as evidenced by recent events. Affordable housing is touted as the answer. But what is affordable housing? It's a name for housing provided to those unable to provide for themselves. Typically, it is the "low income" folks. Affordable housing has taken on many faces over the years, but the end result is always the same. Let's just say it doesn't lead to quaint little communities, neighborhoods with white picket fences, well maintained properties and low crime. No, that isn't what happens. It's important to note those providing that "affordable" housing are the ones making a profit from it! It is always provided when it becomes necessary to maintain the work force. Plantations, ghetto's, apartment complexes or whatever name you wish to apply are created for that purpose, always.
 You do have to ask, for what purpose are we allowing these thousands of migrants to invade our land? Make no mistake about that, it is an invasion. The question to ask is, who will profit? It isn't some national compassion for humanity that is allowing and enabling this. There is an end game in all of this. That end is dependence and control. The surest method of control is dependence. If you overwhelm the system, overwhelm the resources available, you can begin that control. Hey, the government already has a good portion of the population wearing masks, standing in lines to receive vaccines and believing the world is coming to an end unless we buy electric vehicles. Again, ask yourself, for what purpose?
