Until the illegals obtain guns.
Maybe in places that aren’t sanctuary cities.
If you concentrate all the illegals on one spot, the rest of us are safer.
In my experience, Chicago has always had strong elements of a sanctuary city. My NW side neighborhood had thousands of DPs, Europeans who fled the war and the communist takeover of Eastern Europe. Most of these DPs were illegal aliens.
Chicago was slow to give Hispanic illegals the same respect. But it gradually came.
Chicago bribery/extortion is based on everything being illegal and passing money to not enforce the law. So when an illegal (of any ethnicity) got in a bar fight or a fight with a girlfriend or rival suiter (the 3 most common meetings of police with illegals) enforcement was based on passing bribes.
But most illegals did not feel comfortable calling the police, especially when they were seen as easy pickings by the predators. So many illegals practiced conceal carry, the same as many Italians and Jews who were not illegal.
Illegals practicing concealed carry in Chicago is the best proof of John Lott thesis on guns. Concealed carry does reduce crime.
I started to keep track after my life was saved twice by an illegal pulling out his Saturday night Special and forcing my attacker to flee.
