And can we stop using the term "Third World"? It's misused to an extent and quite outdated. Plus, the level of which a country is developed is more complex than "first world" or "third world".
Are you a liberal? I bet you're a liberal.

Yes, although I disagree with mainstream "liberal" opinion on a few things.

I don't see what that has to do with what I said, though.

I guess you'd rather just attack me than discuss anything seriously

Sorry if you felt attacked, I was mostly just joking around. No hard feelings.

With all these comments & the debate on immigrants here I will add this.

Would any of you like to live in any of these LI areas? Seems every one of the places in the US that are designated as "Sanctuary Cities" seem to be full of crime & not an area most would choose to live. Sanctuary Cities and States Protecting Illegal Aliens in the United States - New York

The crime rate among illegal Hispanic immigrants is higher than the native population at large but slightly below the US black population. Which is really a matter of splitting hairs - the crime rate among people that we allow to live in this country, legally or otherwise, should be approaching zero. We should be importing skilled, productive people, not unskilled labor prone to collecting welfare and committing crimes. And it's people like John - that don't have the luxury of being able to avoid it - who have to suffer the most.

Yes because we all know without the blacks and hispanics, Long Island would be a utopia

Yes I have since I do repeat business with them. I know how they got to america. How about you? Have you checked the immigration status of all the people in Westbury etc for whom you made the blanket accusation of being in the United states illegally?
