Seems like a bit of relevant information though, yeah? Like, you want to know if they're going to up and leave the country at some point.

Welcome to the lemmy.world community for Portland, Oregon!
This community has kind of been empty since it was created, I'm hoping to change that!
Unlike "other" Portland communities you may have seen "elsewhere", I believe in a "warts and all" approach. You are free to take off your Rose tinted glasses and talk about topics that are dragging our city down.
At the same time, sunset pics, snowmageddon, traffic monster, cones, that's all welcome as well. Let's collectively keep Portland weird!
2024 is going to be an interesting year politically with all the changes to city government, I will attempt to tag political threads with a [Politics] tag and encourage users to do so as well.
Other than the lemmy.world restrictions on spam, copyrighted material, and adult material (USE that NSFW tag!), there's only one real way to get in trouble here:
- Don't attack other users.
It's OK to go after Teargas Ted, it's OK to say Rene Gonzales is a fascist, ACAB, BLM, whatever floats your boat (WEFYB).
It's NOT OK to attack or diminish another user. Feel free to disagree, you can point out the many ways you think they're wrong, just don't start throwing perjoratives AT OTHER USERS.

Do illegal immigrants up-and-leave at a higher rate than others?
Anecdotally, the only people I've seen who bailed on apartments are either just poor or irresponsible, neither of which correlate to one's immigration status.
I would imagine as far as property-owners go, a tenant's income is the landlord's income; if the landlord is considering renting to an illegal immigrant, they are probably already in dire straights (as is the immigrant). Turn them away and you're sans a potential tenant, the local economy suffers, and now your property is even less desirable.
Do illegal immigrants up-and-leave at a higher rate than others?
Illegal immigrants are not the only type. Plenty of people come legitimately with specific plans for when they're going back.
People seriously need to stop looking at the entire damn world through the lens of today's headlines exclusively, or we aren't even going to have a society left after all the squabbling is over. Fucking over every honest person just to score points in the game of politics is exactly why the public is so pissed off with people in power right now.
what are you even talking about? like genuinely. how does somebodies immigration status affect how they pay rent? how does housing somebody who is most likely paying fair rent affect “honest people”? if anybodies letting politics affect how they see the world, its you buddy.
