Give me a break. Danbury is just over the CT border from Westchester/Putnam counties, and this article exactly describes the situation in virtually every town here. These are normal American villages just overrun with illegals. INS, or ICE, or whatever it's called these days, does squat. The townspeople are sick of it, but the local governments' hands are completely tied. In our town, there's a "Hispanic Coalition" - local version of ACLU - that springs to alert when cops try to enforce the law. In fact, there IS no more loitering law in our town, thanks to the Coalition. Before you blame ordinary Americans, try investigating just how completely check-mated ordinary Americans are on stopping "this influx."
The wealthy folks of Westchester DON'T GIVE A SH-T ABOUT IMMIGRATION. Its basically a more urbanized version of Manhattan. Do you REALLY expect the folks in Scarsdale, Chappaqua, etc. to leave their liberalism behind to join together with the lunch pailers from places like Yonkers in some "anti-illegal" coalition?
I'm not blaming the towns people for the problem, but in many places citizens don't help themselves by continuing to to vote for pols who renege their promises. I'm simply stating that even though it's the government who aids and abets their entry and stay, we are also enabling them by hiring them for our menial jobs or doing business with companies that hire them.
