On These Shores, Immigrants Find a New Wave of Hostility
1993
Overview
Immigration and Naturalization Service officers now use the language of the war on drugs. They speak of smuggling cartels trafficking in illicit cargo. William S. Slattery, director of the service's New York office, uses the language of war itself. \"Who's going to control the borders of the United States?\" he said. \"The aliens have taken control.\" \"All the overcrowded school districts today are immigrant school districts,\" said Frank Vardy, a demographer with New York's Department of City Planning. \"That's always been true, ever since immigration started. Today 42 percent of all births in the city are to immigrant mothers. Those children are all American citizens, every one.\" \"It's now so much easier to get to our doorstep on planes, on ships, on foot,\" said Mr. [Lawrence Fuchs]. \"Thousands of people show up and claim political asylum, and because we have a system of due process, it's very hard to administer. How do you ration the tickets to get in?\"
