Absolutely agree about improving the social situation for a lot of people who are struggling, but I also think there’s something else. I don’t know what. Healthcare is free, dental care is free, education is free and you get paid to attend school. Second generation migrants have opportunities their parents likely didn’t, and still they get recruited into gangs and kill or get killed.

I don’t know what the real problem is, nor how to solve it. I just don’t think either the left (fix the social situation and the crime will stop) or the right (stop migration and the crime will stop) is correct. Or maybe they both are, but in a limited way? Maybe it’s something else entirely?
