Thrawn-
You're right, of course. It is much better that St.Santa is afraid to walk down the street for fear of getting murdered by people that have absolutely no interest in meshing with their foster country's customs. Yes, by all means, let everyone in, let them sponge from the working class, and let the law protect them more than it does its own native citizens. It's the only humane thing to do.
Better still, disarm the native populace in the interests of being civilized. No way anyone is going to need to protect themselves in such a progressive society, right? I mean, stats don't lie...
Fooey on that. He ought to be able to buy a gun, carry it, and whip it out when the clan jumps out. Stuff like this is what turns anti-gun people pro-gun... of course, only if you are the anti-gun person walking in St.Santa's shoes.
