Thread: Immigrants Clash with Locals on Long Island

Illegals have destroyed entire neighborhoods in these towns. Most of them are men who are here without families. They drink heavily, they relieve themselves in public, and since there is a huge surplus of these folks, they lie around on every available patch of grass all day long. More and more are associated with the Mexican drug cartel.

Let me correct an oft-repeated inaccuracy: They do not work for $10 an hour. They work for $20-$30 under the table for scumbag contractors. I abhor making judgments about people based on race and I understand that the Indians of Latin America are poor and oppressed. However, their presence here is disruptive and damaging on many levels and that's why I support the forcible repatriation of these people. When we have an administration that regard people who break our laws with hostility, not hospitality, we will begin to solve the problem.

Suffolk Co Executive Steve Levy is a Democrat who opposes illegal immigration and tried in vain to get Bush to pay Suffolk Co for the costs incurred by his Administration's lax border control. Now he has the same problem with Obama.

Well said LI!

I take this as a threat, given the fact it was made by a mexican gov official, or someone authorized to speak on their behalf.
