'Everybody knows this land is toxic,' said Richard Zupkus. 'The neighborhood here - our resources are finite. The schools are already packed.'But safety for both migrants and the community is now the biggest concern.'This is a quasi-prison they're building,' Zupkus said. 'It's not cool. It's not where you want to like come and be welcomed to America.
