Discussion is needed to solve immigrants’ work issues

The mayor and Borough Council members [of Freehold Borough] won a hollow and horrible victory.

Thank you for dividing our city. You have caused terrible suffering on hundreds of people who are here only to work and provide services that most American workers won’t provide because of low wages and back breaking work.

Thanks for creating fear in our immigrant population that if they go to the muster zone after Jan. l they will be jailed, fined and possibly deported. Thanks for causing lots of unnecessary hardship to children, who are Americans, because their fathers cannot assemble in any area in Freehold in order to find work.

Thank you for forgetting that most of us who live in America, our descendants came from a different place in order to find work and provide a better living for their families.

I write this letter not in anger, but in shame that our elected officials refuse to sit down with us concerned citizens to seek solutions. The answer is not to load these people on a bus and just send them away. Please let us sit down and try to find an amicable solution that will be a benefit to all sides.
