Boughton to keep focus
on immigration issue

DANBURY – Mayor Mark Boughton said he will keep illegal immigration at the top of his agenda as he starts his third term in City Hall. In fact, the Republican said his controversial stance on the issue helped win him re-election by a wide margin this month.

“People are very much concerned about illegal immigration in Danbury. That is evident. I think it was one of the top two or three issues in the election,� Boughton said. “The public is genuinely frustrated.�

Boughton made national headlines earlier this year when he said illegal immigrants from places such as Brazil, Ecuador and Mexico were taxing the city’s housing stock, overloading the hospital, and draining the services of the police and fire departments.
