Housing issue gets heated over coverage of illegal immigrant crackdown.
Newsday ^ | July 12, 2005 | BART JONES

An angry Suffolk Executive Steve Levy lashed out at the news media Monday, including Newsday, for its coverage of the Mexican day laborer evictions in Farmingville and said it is missing the real story -- the many residents who support the crackdown on illegally overcrowded houses.

The residents praised the crackdown by Brookhaven Town and Suffolk County officials, saying houses packed with Mexican immigrants were turning parts of Farmingville into "slums."

If immigration law was enforced, this scenario could be easily repeated in at least 10,000 towns and cities across the United States.

From the article:

Levy, a Democrat, said residents of Farmingville "cheered" the housing crackdown that started June 19, but their happiness "changed to dismay when they saw in the media the focus of the attention ... This is not an issue about race or immigration or long-term housing. It's an issue about the integrity of neighborhoods."

More:

Three houses containing as many as 104 men have been shut by authorities or landlords...

Three cheers for Levy.

The residents praised the crackdown ... saying houses packed with Mexican immigrants were turning parts of Farmingville into "slums."

"Now our American dream is a nightmare," said Diane Aragones, noting that 10 to 15 day laborers gather in front of her house every day.

Nothing intended in the way of humor. We in Colorado are not laughing very much. You who consider youselves to be conservative and a living in states that reflect the attitude thereov. Hang on to your ass. Colorado is as conservative as it gets. We are overun by the fine invasive state of Mehico. Don't get confortable. Mr Bush does not care if we are Mehicos next state. Get on the phone to your representatives and senators. Your only hope is their fear.
