While this article is a few years old, it gives you an idea of the shrinking cities that are declining in America...
https://www.businessinsider.com/us-census-data-population-decrease-shows-american-cities-in-decline-2018-1Ohio, Pennsylvania, parts of New York, Indiana, etc, they need the fresh new people to regrow their populations and to breathe life into their cities. And Arkansas, Kentucky, Tennessee, etc, all need fresh new people.
We need to make our immigrants legal like Reagan did, and then we need to create a new Good Neighbor Policy to make it easier for Mexicans and Canadians to become American citizens, etc, and for people from here in the Western Hemisphere.
New Orleans declined big time after Katrina, and the Brazilians and Colombians and others from Latin America can help to grow New Orleans, and the French love New Orleans we need to welcome the French.
And in California we need to expand food and wine exports to China, etc, as we clean things up and as we get our homeless people into housing. We also need Hostels where people can shower and sleep in a bed for $15 per night, and we need Sober Living Homes for $150 per week, etc. We need to get our people into housing. And we can build more libraries, etc. We can also expand trade with Mexico and with Latin America, etc.
A big thing is to teach the people of Latin America how to speak English, and we need to teach them how to read and write, and then they have a fighting chance if they have access to good books and libraries, etc. Famous Amos used to sell cookies and use the money to teach the poor how to read and write, there are many ways to fund the betterment of humanity. And Kiwanis can sell Kiwanis brand bottled mountain spring water with the money going to do Charity Work, etc. And the United Farm Workers Union needs to have a program to teach the farm workers how to speak English and how to read and write, etc. And we have Catholic schools, etc.
Education and Libraries are vital as we invite the new immigrants to come to Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, New Orleans, etc, to help to revitalize the USA.
People need to look at the list of dying cities in the USA, and we need to send the new refugees to rescue the dying cities. As we also send the refugees to Arkansas, etc, where they can be nurses and school teachers, etc, and where they can marry the local men.
Our immigrants built the USA, and our immigrants will help to save the USA as we move into the future.
Of note, for our Ambassador to Saudi Arabia, we should send Ivanka Trump, the Saudis love Ivanka Trump and she did a good job of asking the Saudis to give Business Loans to the Women and to support Women in Business in Saudi Arabia ( And the Saudi Women can help to create jobs as Essential Workers for the Palestinians and for the Arabs. ) The Saudis love Ivanka the same way that Rocket Man loves Dennis Rodman, we should make Dennis Rodman our Ambassador to North Korea.
Also of note, many of the people from Ukraine already speak English, as we bring them to Ohio, Pennsylvania, Missouri, Michigan, etc, etc, etc, to repopulate our dying cities, etc.
The Russian women are also escaping from Russia, and the Russian women can be Nurses, and Brides for the Veterans, etc, in the USA.
Congress needs to act to make our immigrants legal, and the President needs to support it, and we need a new Good Neighbor Policy.
And we have Youth For Christ, the Catholic Church, Kiwanis International, and Samaritan's Purse, and other groups, which can help in Mexico, to teach them English and to teach them how to read and write, and to build schools and libraries in Mexico, etc, and hospitals, and orphanages, etc.
Salute,
