**new york, bridgeport, come on, come all: Compo beach clam bake**

Illegal aliens are stripping Connecticut beaches clean of crabs and clams, but woke officials are ignoring it

My guess is few, if any, of these seafood lovers (well, seafood sellers) actually wear “Minor’s” hats while digging, and the reporter’s abysmal writing is over-the-top histrionic, grammatically jumbled, and with no hard facts behind it, but are there hispanics and orientals swarming the beaches illegally harvesting shellfish? Sure; Third World people don’t recognize game laws on dry land, no reason to think they’d change their behavior while ransacking the sand flats.

[I]legal night harvesting is happening at a massive scale in Westport, and across the state.
"Unbelievable, isn’t it? Take a ride by old Mill and look at the Spanish guys with Minor’s hats on, responded one resident we asked who lives in the Compo Beach area when asked if what was going on nightly is legal.
"There’s no blue crabs left. No steamers. No Clams. No mussels.
Another resident of Old Mill told us, "There’s nothing left, they stripped the place clean."

Connecticut has very few game wardens, stretched thin across the state, and Westport cops are usually too busy at night protecting Dunkin Donut outlets to run beach patrols, but I imagine ICE could net a huge haul here; a few raids, and the illegals would be gone, replaced by vegetarian Westport white lady protesters, who don’t clam.
