Danbury is fed up and is well aware of what happened just across the border in Brewster, NY.

Brewster is now a barrio. A once beautiful little village is now full of empty storefronts and slums.

Danbury has a population of 75K and 15k illegals is putting an enormous load on all social and medical services.

Danbury residents are taking this into their own hands because no one else will.

Spent a couple of drunken nights in "the Bum Steer". Is it still there or is it a victim of the times?

With all due respect about Brewster, I seem to remember lots of empty storefronts back in the 1980s and early '90s, before the illegals came in. The malls effectively killed downtown Brewster long before it was inundated with illegal immigration.

The fact of the matter is that the NYC metro area is essentially becoming one filled with the VERY wealthy, those who aspire to be very wealthy, middle class immigrants(think Indians and Koreans,as well as many South Americans) replacing the Joe Schmoes, with VERY poor immigrants who provide labor to all of the former.

Believe me, people in Scarsdale, Greenwich, Manhattan, Brooklyn Heights and Park Slope really don't care about illegal immigration. Those are the folks that call the shots whether you like it or not and they vote.

Socially conservative native born Americans are a VERY SMALL MINORITY in Connecticut, New York and New Jersey. I'm willing to bet that those doing the complaining are the tavern and cigarette set that haven't moved out of Danbury yet. My advice to them is to start looking for some real estate in Litchfield.
