Is it? A thug might occasionally steal your wallet. Rich criminals make sure you will not get cure for whatever illness you will surely get as you get older.

A thug may kill you and it won’t matter much what illness you’ll get at old age.
A lightning might kill you as well while you're still in the crib. But not all these events have the same probability.

Why do you worry more about the very unlikely events and not at all about the almost sure events?

You are far more likely to be killed by a citizen than an illegal alien, and even that chance is tiny compared to an automobile death. You've been lied to by people trying to manipulate you for their own political power. Don't get suckered by then. They are not your friend.
