Who are we to believe those in Washington or our own lying eyes? The Washington Post has a story about what will be happening in more and more suburban neighborhoods. The issue is overcrowding in suburban houses by immigrants. Here are the money quotes:
"Elsa DeLeon, a Honduran immigrant, was cited for overcrowding in February by county inspectors who found that her basement on Hanover Avenue in Springfield had been illegally divided into four bedrooms. She said the county is interfering with her right to care for her large extended family."
What about respecting the law? Is that to much to ask of these "new" immigrants?
But, Harry Gault sumed it up best:
"I don't mind an Hispanic neighborhood," said Gault, 73. "But they've turned a three-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath home into a nine-room boarding house."
