BREWSTER, New York -- Many of the speakers at last night's forum on illegal immigration organized by state Assemblyman Greg Ball, R-Carmel, lamented the federal government's apparent lack of effort securing the country's borders.
One speaker, who identified himself as a Yonkers firefighter, told Ball and elected officials from Brewster and Southeast they needed to act now to curb the effects of illegal immigration. Otherwise, he said, "Your town will soon look like Yonkers."
He was among at least 90 people crammed into the Brewster Library's main reading room and spilling out into the foyer near the circulation desk who came to hear elected leaders and their neighbors discuss the area's illegal immigrant population.
