        That’s a good idea 😂 Chicago is considered the most gang-infested city in the United States.

        Or you could round up all the illegal immigrants and send them back home. And then you could take all the legal immigrants that are committing crimes and send them back home too. But, of course, that means you have to increase police numbers and Mr. Mayor doesn't want to.

        I'm pretty sure there's an awful lot of British nationals committing these types of crimes too.

        Off to jail with them. But the fact that certain types of crimes (like scooter theft) that are very common in other countries but very rare in the UK are on the rise, along with migration from those countries... Is pretty damning.

        I'm not saying that it's only illegal immigrants that are committing the crimes. I'm not saying that if the UK were to send them all home, there would be no crime. But at the very least, the UK doesn't need to import more criminals, and there must be a way to deal with them.
