    The people that actually live there would probably like a word with you. Many are quoted in the article.

      Many of the people who actually live there support the immigrants, and simply want increased investment and better management of these facilities

      “Let me clarify, we are not against immigrants,” Clinton Hill resident Jorge Santos, 61, said during a rally in June. “We welcome them, but we do need better communication from the representatives.”

      “We are one human race,” Mary Chang, 74, said when she took the microphone, demanding better conditions for the asylum seekers in the shelter. “They have told us that it is like a prison.”

      Chang is a first generation American and has lived in the district all of her life. She told Documented what she wishes for is better living conditions for the residents and has always been fighting for migrants.

      And I’d love to have a chat with them. Bet most don’t actually think the immigrants are as evil as the article propagandizes.

      Well, let me tell you what I see on the news every day, gang members with chili bowl haircuts, 14 years old killing other 14-year-olds. Where are their parents? The chili bowl haircut I am talking about, is called the “Edgar”, comes from Central America. In Central America, too, 14-year-olds kill other 14-year-olds.

      My neighborhood consists of a bunch of Mexicans. They are decidedly NOT the problem.

  Pack 4,000 extremely poor people together, yeah, you’re gonna have crime.
