For Hampton Bays residents who’ve had to endure long lines or making longer drives to have their prescriptions filled, there’s good news.

Amy Paradise [“Define the Problem,” Letters, November 20] listed excuses why we should be sympathetic to their plight: economic opportunity; authoritarian, repressive governments; climate change; exposure via the internet to better situations; drug smuggling; U.S. business welcomes their cheap labor; and our historically benevolent history of welcoming them. Each one, it could be argued, serves our better angels, but Americans seem to discount the cost to scrub each case. Many stand on corners, ... by Staff Writer
