This was like some sort of contagion horror movie. In this 1 BR basement suite the guy opened the door and the daylight creaked in and illuminated (this is no exaggeration) SIX Indian guys sprawled out on 2 mattresses in what would be the living room. They all woke up upon our arrival and only 1 of them could manage enough English to tell me where they wanted the router.
They were all working for paladin security or some shit and basically being totally abused/taken advantage of in order (presumably) to get their PR..
But hey.. buddy is getting $3500 for this fucking disgusting hole of a suite, rock on!  |
This is one of the things my fellow commies are too scared to say for seeming like xenophobes, but the reality is, bringing over a set number of immigrants with absolutely no consideration for housing and quality of life (because let's be honest 90% of them are being brought over here and chained to shit jobs that pay for shit living conditions) we aren't doing them or us any favours. It's not the "bring us your hungry, you're poor and we will help them" sort of situation. It's big, shitty corporations lobbying to get people to work for way too little on one end, then the government getting interest free loans from the rich on the other end. Neither is motivated by making a better life for new or current citizens.
