We have a few gang bangers but for that the US is a much more fertile hunting ground. I think we have fewer problems than the US for a couple of reasons:
First geography. We are only six miles from Venezuela, but 100s of miles from urban population centers like Caracas. Most of the Venes here come from rural areas (like flyover America).
Second, we dont have a safety net. No housing, no food stamps, WIC, NGOs serving up cell phones and lawyers. Govt checks and transportation, Amazon gift cards, etc.
Basically the people come to make a better life for themselves and their families, you know kind of like immigration in the states used to be decades, many decades ago.
But then what do I know, we are third world, you know with same day voting with paper ballots with registered voters

You should read up on Milton Friedman on immigration. Basically he shows that you can either have a welfare state or free immigration, but you cannot have both. Free immigration will sink the system and increase the tax burden on everyone if your economy doesn’t fail first.

But that’s the plan, don’t you see?
Those behind this mass illegal immigration seek to crash our economy and weaken our government to the point that they can walk in an take over.

The ones who want to take over are already in D.C.

Don't worry. Biden is importing people to do the murders that Americans won't.

And water is wet.
Don’t need Milton to know this, this is a purposely driven agenda to do exactly way it is doing.

* overwhelm the system with dependants and it collapse from within..
This country and world is done.

Crash the economy? What's in it for the people who want to do that?

Look at the net worth of most the people in The Senate. They won't be impacted at all and will be elected as permanent ruling class. In fact, anyone who is well off or wealthy will be fine it will be the middle class and the lower middle class who are screwed.

More people become dependent on the government for handouts, leading to the government becoming more powerful & controlling.

Lived in St. Vincent and now in Trinidad....but I did not shoot the deputy (regarding your list)
Ironically most of those Caribbean islands listed have very strict gun laws, those guns must be awful violent...or maybe its not the guns or the laws against law abiding citizens.
My point of the post was, the Venes who come here want a better life, the ones heading to the states are for the freebies, or the lax laws that will enable freebies. Its quite disgusting the handouts at this point.
If someone doesnt stop registration of illegals the place is gone through, if it isnt already.

I bought the groceries for a Venezuelan woman and her kids in a Massy's in Port of Spain. Those people are beyond broke. Not like the illegals we have here that arrive with iPhones, $200 Nikes and 100 pounds overweight.
