No doubt, crime in certain pockets of country such as in DC are probably off the charts. My Reason? We are very lenient with criminals. How can a person having a rap sheet numbering in the dozens be out of prison?
We lived in Vancouver, WA for many years and there are lot of Russian immigrants there. My wife worked in a large medical practice there. Lots of Russians patients received free healthcare, free translators and free transportation to the medical facility. And we noticed lot of Russians using food stamps in grocery stores. Russian immigrants seem to be experts in milking the system.
Well...it probably reminds them of the old country.
