"being an illegal immigrant in possession of firearms"

I bet illegal immigrants have a better firearms safety record that citizens.

You can tell he's an undocumented immigrant because he didn't open fire at the school and kill the students.

No wonder BullBringer is upset. He loves the smell of dead children in the morning.

I sympathize with the illegal superintendent.

He's much less a criminal than the goons who arrested him.

How would you know?

A sanctuary city doesn't keep track of this information.

Denying the problem is a feature.

"How would you know?"

Because it would certainly come up in any story about a shooting, mass shooting, or school shooting.
