> There are dangerous places, but everyone you are working with will quickly let you know where they are in your area, and you can avoid them

People were randomly shot while they were walking out of a H&M in a premium outlet mall in suburban Dallas with a Whole Foods nearby. Doubt you can classify that as a 'dangerous place'. I do agree that this is not common in the USA.

It may not be common but it is becoming more regular. You like those odds?

I wouldn't immigrate here, especially if I wasn't white.

Based on the influx of illegals over the southern border, this seems very much like the minority opinion.

> Based on the influx of illegals

Everyone that ever violated a law including speeding or jaywalking is technically an 'illegal' including probably you and your family members. Lets stop addressing human beings as illegals.

Me and my fam would only be 'illegal' in the sense I used the word in, if we had sped or jaywalked across an international border w/o papers.

Hyperventilating over the onomastics of what they get called isn't solving the illegal-entry crisis.

Everybody knows Texas is like Westworld except when you get shot you die. Like OP explained: your coworkers will tell you, don't go to Texas its filled to the brim with gritty gunslingin cowboy hat wearin heeeehawin spur spinnin boot kickin sonofabitches. Ya ever heard of "Don't mess with Texas" well if you didn't now ya did.

Fuck you, this makes us less free and you are sighing like some entitled prick. Some people don't have this ability, and even if they did no one should have to live their life in fear of their neighbors mass shooting them. This system is BROKEN.

Have you considered emigrating? I would check out El Salvador; I hear that it's getting safer there everyday.

Mass shootings by weirdos with rifles are a tiny % of shooting deaths in the US. The vast majority are either suicides, or are occurring in places that anyone will tell you to avoid when you arrive in the country.
