Rift Over Illegal Immigration Leads to Talk of Secession – Farmingville, New York
Tagged: day laborers, Long Island, New YorkPosted on: December 17th, 2006“Assuming a new name has often been part of the immigration experience. Now this Long Island hamlet, bruised for a decade by its reputation as a place where illegal immigrant day laborers crowd into rooming houses, is considering a name change of its own.
Farmingville, or at least the more affluent half of it, where few if any of the new immigrants live, would have itself be known instead as the village of Oak Hills.”
