Chad, the implications of the above statement worry me. Are you implying that the unfortunately high gun murder rates in the US are significantly affected due to immigrants' higher rate of murders? Poorly phrased... I mean are immigrants from the countries you quoted significantly over-represented in US murder statistics? Can you cite any references for this? (genuinely curious). Regards, Ray.
