“Why would I want these people from Central America?” We’re not allowed to say it but we think it. I had to move my 85 year old mother out of the apartment she’d lived in for years a mile from me because that little garden apartment complex went from old people to Latino in the space of 3 years and the men would hang outside her ground floor windows drinking and playing loud music. Now I worry about the coming home invasions as the many, many kids in those apartments become teenagers. Like they say, “He had me at ‘Build the wall.'”
