Hope for Detroit's downfall.
Through Detroit's endeavors the economic impact of immigrants stayed both concentrated and spread throughout the region. Throughout time it has showed that the amount of migration from other countries has even increased. So what does this mean for detroit? Will the increases in population in immigrants increase the bussiness and revenue of the city of detroit? Well in a way yes. Curiously, immigrants sometimes live in one area but open businesses in another, said University of Detroit Mercy School of Law Professor David Koelsch, who also is director of the law school's Immigration Law Clinic and the Asylum Law Clinic.
One example is Madison Heights, home to many Korean, Vietnamese, Chinese and other Asian businesses. The Asian owners tend to live elsewhere.
"They live farther out, not in Madison Heights," he said.
One ethnic group living and opening businesses in the same place in recent years is the Iraqi community around 15 Mile and Ryan roads in Warren.
"They're starting to open businesses. It's starting to become a real community, like a little Iraqi community," Koelsch said.
The metro area is attractive in general to immigrants because it has cheap houses and good suburban school districts.
"Detroit's a blank slate. It's a pretty great time to be coming here as an immigrant," Koelsch said. "The value you get in the Detroit region is pretty amazing."
With that being said as Professor Koelsch stated as most people look at Detroit as an run down city built around something that use to be great in another perspective or someone who's not from this country sees Detroit as open opportunity to build and start something new.
An interview conducted several months ago Bill Clinton advised a plan to rebuild Detroit through Syrian immigrants during his Clinton global initiative he explained a theory that is sought about by many politicians and philosophers whereas they theorize to filling these vacant house and perfectly built structures government officials will be able to house immigrants in

Detroit is a city that has had a healthy immigrant population before, and it could be again. If it returned to it's 1960 foreign born percent it would mean an increase of 57,000 immigrants. This would help make it more similar to economically successful cities like New York City. A city like Detroit could be a symbol and demonstration project to show other cities the huge potential of Detroit and large cities that are trying to reverse its economic corruption
