> 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.

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.
