Immigration in Danbury

This week I’m am discussing a presentation give Unidos Por Sangrios. It was about the problems that Mayor Boughton of Danbury, CT faces on a daily basis. To start off I will give a brief demographical look at the city of Danbury. There are a total of forty-nine languages spoken in this city of about eighty-five thousand. They also have the largest concentration of Shiite Muslims and Brazilians. This kind of cultural diversity causes some problems. The majority of immigration problems stem from over crowding and cultural differences. One thing that the city is able to do is to check for basic problems such as illegal apartments in garages and attics, cars parked in yards, and undocumented building projects. Also one problem that they had is people playing volleyball in the neighborhoods into the later hours of the night. This caused problems because there were a lot of illegal activities at these games. To help combat these, the Mayor would send police to disband the group when it got too late, and all of those participating in illegal activities were arrested and background checked to make sure that they are actually citizens. I agree with this plan of not seeking out illegals but rather allowing them to be the ones that make the mistake and then get them. This program is somewhere in between a sanctuary city and having officials go out racially profiling people to make sure that they are legal.
