Duke University

I went to Duke University podcast page and I listen to a podcast called In The Middle.
This podcast was about a small town in Harrington, Pennsylvania. The small town was having immigration problems. In 2006 a law was passed on undocumented immigration.
The mayor of this town, mayor Barletto, claimed that the illegal aliens was draining the resources from the small town. The illegal aliens were Latinos and they all got together to file a suit to overturn the laws that was set against immigration.
Angel Grant is a citizen of Harrington, Pennsylvania and she feels that the illegal immigration is a problem and she agrees with the laws. In this podcast they speak of the crime rate increasing because of the immigration but how can they based that on immigration alone. I don't think that's fair at all to assume that all Latinos are what ever race you are should be profiled just because one person believes it.
