So, here's the thing...
In his very Trumpian way, Trump actually stumbled into a very important but complex issue. And it's happening all across the country.
Buried deep in those thousand page bills are lots of goodies for anyone who is declared a "refugee". But to get those goodies, you need to work through the government bureaucracies. Enter in the 3rd party agents. These are the people and businesses that secure the power of attorney for these people, take a nice little chunk off the top, then secure housing for them and find them work. The more refugees you can get, the more money you make. And then, you find cities with depressed housing, allow your corporate partners to buy up that housing, rent rooms out to the agents who can then use those rents as a means to make more money from the government. Meanwhile, if any of the refugees starts acting up, you threaten them with deportation - effectively making them indentured servants. Due to the refugee status, these agents are sell their labor to other business that can get passed the immigration checks since they're technically "documented" undocumented immigrants.
The city managers benefit from increased power and resources, and an indirect influx of government money. The agents benefit by "owning" as many people as they can. The corporations that bought the cheap housing benefit since the rents they can charge are being paid for by the government. And it all works out fine until there's a lack of cultural assimilation on the part of the "migrants". Meanwhile, housing costs go up. The local citizenry has to compete for resources. Local customs and norms give way. And the towns become shells of what they once were. And this is 20,000 people in Springfield, but it's happening all over!
Government-created problems.
