On May 28, 2014, City Islanders and Friends submitted to NYC DOT four (4) questions about the "newest" proposed City Island Bridge raised by members of the 1200 + member Facebook group. This was the day before their scheduled "Open House" at P.S. 175 on May 29, 2014.

The group founder was hoping to avoid "We'll get back to you" and was given assurance that they would be prepared to answer my question the next day at the public event, but that was not to be.

After waiting for over 6 weeks and several follow-up calls, they've responded in writing.

IMMIGRATION EMERGENCY

US Congressional Hispanic Caucus members have called for quick action to address the humanitarian crisis involving unaccompanied minors entering this country, little is being actually accomplished.

Media organizations have the duty to make the obvious case of racism here. If these kids, or young adults were white fleeing violence, para-military gangs and drug cartels, there would be no outrage.

It's just that their skin is too dark for those who call this an immigration problem and not a global refugee crisis. What say you?
