This is mostly good things for people to think about, but... "immigrants doing god knows what" just looks like racism dropped into an otherwise reasonable ramble. Hopefully that's not how you meant it.

It's the reality of most cities in northern Italy, e.g. the one my SO lives in: Reggio Emilia.

If you go out after 7 pm most of the year half the people downtown are immigrants selling drugs, doing petty crime or whistling and annoying women.

I see and live that, and have female family members and friends being assaulted by these people, and they are immigrants.

It's not a matter of skin color, but demographics.

They are young, male, unemployed and from a different culture, they are more prone to decaying and aggressive behavior. But it's a fact, they make the cities less safe and they dominate the stats in petty and violent crimes.
