    Framingham’s Immigrant Problem

    FRAMINGHAM, MA – Framingham has a problem. And, the town is not alone in this problem — people all over the state and the country are complaining about the same thing — those “damned immigrants”.

    In our new politically correct world, it’s considered very un-PC to express dislike for a race or class of people using words we might prefer if we knew they would not hear us.  Instead we say things like “based on immigration status” or “because they don’t speak English“, or “because they probably get welfare and foodstamps“.
