Not as sketchy as ignorance and not up to date on what makes America great as you James.

Ecuadorians are like any American group…many make this country great, some are bad.

What makes America bad is singling out any group in America like you did.

Police on Tuesday released a photo of Portoviejo, taken after a July 26 drunken driving arrest in Queens. He was released on his own recognizance that day.

Portoviejo, who police believe is an Ecuadorian citizen, is 5-foot-5 and about 150 pounds, cops said.

Cops are asking anyone with information to call Crime Stoppers at (800) 577-TIPS.

Like anything else gentrification brings good and bad. The good, fixes up old neighborhoods with parks, new buildings, lowers crime rates. The bad, only the rich can afford it and it is usually not the demographic of the people living in the old area.
