And millions more are immigrating to the United States or dreaming of the prospect. The United States is doing just fine. Better than Europe, in most respects, which is another one of the most civilized places in the developed world to be.
One thing that I must point out: Crime rates in the US have been falling since 1991.
Definitely true. The city where I’m from, Washington DC, used to be the murder capital of the country. Crime has plummeted in the city during my lifetime, and the nationwide trend hasn’t been much different. One of the only cities with a great deal of violent crime remaining is Chicago (specifically the South side), and 80% of the crime there is gang-related which doesn’t directly affect ordinary citizens.
