what's your point,@Jacar?

You call yourself a constitutional "liberal"? Let me remind you what "liberal" means.

Don't wage wars and regime change on their countries and they won't come here…

Immigration does cause problems everywhere. Nobody likes change. Ghettoisation becomes the norm and gradually the immigrants assimilate. Uncontrolled immigration makes the situation worse but it must be remembered immigration is not necessarily a bad thing and uncontrolled immigration comes from the greed of the powers-that-be for lower labour costs. I'm constantly meeting these immigrants and not seeing them as primitive people. Perhaps my understanding of the experiences of my own people has coloured my judgement but I think these immigrants are as good as anyone else, and sometimes even better. There are bad ones, of course, people being people, and the authorities are prioritising the demand for lower wages over the demand for justice.

Please take your xenophobia elsewhere.

Say what you want. Gang's decreased under the Clinton administration and an active push to give young people evening and night activities and to help find jobs. Gang activities increase when groups are marginalized and are left with few or no prospects. Is this what occurred with the rise if gang violence in the 1950's? The answer is no, since most of those gang members were of European descent. Late 1800's? We are all humans; treat one "group" (manufactured groupings) badly And the same thing will happen.

I also noted the number of crimes was cited without specifying the crimes.

So a community organizer's claim is "proof"? I note a lot of hearsay, very little serious journalism.
