Latino neighborhood slowly disappearing in central Mesa


Family by family, business by business, a central Mesa neighborhood is vanishing.


Already struggling with blight, the Reed Park area near Gilbert and Broadway roads is taking another hit as undocumented immigrants leave the neighborhood, pressured by the state's employer-sanctions law, stricter immigration enforcement and a sagging economy....

Funny how that goes...I grew up in this neighborhood right next to the park and 25years ago it was mostly a normal neighborhood....until illegals swarmed to Mesa....Sherriff Joe does a fine job keeping people on they're toes...It was never a Latino neighborhood....amazing.
