The Sun's article "Immigrants again an issue in Taneytown" (Dec. 5) demonstrates that anti-illegal immigrant policies are really not about the law but about xenophobic and racist attitudes toward the poor Mexican and Central American immigrants who make up the vast majority of the U.S. illegal immigrant population. What better proof do we need for this than the fact that Taneytown doesn't even have an illegal immigration problem. In fact, Latinos make up only 1.5 percent of Taneytown's population, according to the 2000 Census.
