Yes... but at least down here the suburbs don't mess around. Criminals come from Jackson into the suburbs and surrounding towns like Pearl and Clinton chase them right back into Jackson to arrest them. And they don't just give them a slap on the wrist either.

Property crime here maybe but not violent crime. Our main city is having more violent crime but its usually within groups who "know" each other.

What's amazing to me is all the apartment complexes being built on the edges of the main city and even in the little suburbs we have. My mouth literally falls open during some drives on who is going to fill all of these apartments. We have a couple of "non profit" social services entities that I've been told have direct connections to certain "parts" of the fed government so I suspect that good amounts of illegals will be filling some of these new apartment complexes. The chamber of commerce types likes a continued flow of cheap labor, immigration law enforcement is just as "optional" here in the middle of the country as it is on the southern border. We'll see...

It follows the drugs.
