Incidentally, these three cities have some of the strictest gun laws in the country.
And their surrounding states some of the loosest.
Btw, not a single city in the US (save maybe Flint of late) is anywhere approaching a true third-world city. If you believe otherwise, travel more.

Are you suggesting that Texas is responsible for NOLA’s gun crime?

So, NOW crossing "borders" without documentation is suddenly a no-no and is a problem?

One of the first true things you’ve ever posted.

And fwiw, I have traveled extensively throughout Central America and South America (Mexico, Costa Rica, Honduras, Guatemala, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Argentina, Brazil, Venezuela, Ecuador, Uruguay, Paraguay, and Chile). I don't think I have been in any cities in the USA that I would call 3rd World. In every American city I have visited the mail gets delivered, public utilities like water, electricity and gas work regularly and normally, American cities are not routinely crippled by strikes, our grocery stores are regularly stocked with staples need to feed the public, etc. So I'm not sure what he means when he calls Baltimore, Detroit and New Orleans 3rd World cities. I haven't been to Baltimore and Detroit, but New Orleans certainly isn't a 3rd World city.

Nice of you to finally admit our "poor" are not actually poor.

And yet the surrounding areas crime rates are much lower.
Try again progressive filth!
