It isn’t wealth alone that keeps cities livable. It’s culture: the rule of law, cleanliness, safety, and a shared civic compact. When residents uphold these norms, urban cores thrive as centers of prosperity and genuine diversity. When the compact breaks down, the result is social collapse and segregation.

Statistics show crime is going down in cities where Homan and his team of heroes are removing illegals. There really IS a difference between people who come here legally and people who break in - and the values those two group show makes all the difference. Its the same with an invited guest and a thief... the fact both come into your home does NOT make them the same. Legal immigrants are tell us first and foremost that they respect our laws. BIG DIFFERENCE.

There is a compelling, scientifically sound experiment going on about this right now. In Jerusalem, there are areas that are controlled by Jews and/or Christians, and areas that are controlled by Muslims. It's immediately obvious which area you are in, because in the Muslim-controlled areas, there is trash everywhere - and not just paper litter. There are soda cans, rotting food garbage, old mattresses, everything. The Muslims have no pride in their own neighborhoods.

Jews and Muslims are racially equivalent (all claiming descent from Abraham), and the access to markets, jobs, etc. is essentially the same. The difference is culture, and in particular the way in which public spaces are treated. We saw this in other areas of Israel as well, not just in Jerusalem.

It can be called a Third World problem, but it's really independent of country or "World" or the wealth of the people. It's all about culture.

GREAT POST

I have both a question and a statement.

Where did you obtain the info in bolded black lettering?

Thanks for the encouraging update on decreasing crime where ICE is taking the battle to the streets, as I live not too far from DC.
