Here's a poll finding that 52% of Hispanics have confidence in police. That's 1% lower that the overall percentage.

I see a study done that finds that 28% of US born Latinos are hesitant to call police. If you ask other ethnic groups you will probably get comparable numbers, which indicates that only a paranoid person or hack would say that they are afraid of being deported if they were born here.

Find me some real statistics, and stop hacking.

This is coming from the person who doesn't even know what a concentration camp is. Oh yeah, really believable. But hey, they will all believe you anyway.

And this is coming from a person who doesn't know anything about history and supports an administration of complete morons.

JohnT: Latinos are all afraid that they will be deported.

Me: Really????

JohnT: Yeah, and sent to concentration camps.

I live in Texas. San Antonio, Texas. A city which is 65% Hispanic. 120 miles from Mexico and Trump's child concentration camps.

Everything Kidicious says in the previous post... excepting the first two sentences (I'm going to assume he knows the posters here)... is bull****. Oh, and there are more latinos being born here, that too is true. But the rest... hispanics not being worried about ICE? Bull****. Don't worry about their ethnicity in an increasingly white supremacist country? Bull****. Don't hide from gov't officials because of the Trump admin? Bull****-squared.

I know Latino immigrants.

That ranks right up there with BK saying he has a Gay Friend so that he knows how Gay's feel

Right on.

Btw, i live in Los Angeles. Every Latino I have talked to fear and hates ICE. They all think Trump is a worthless ***** with a big mouth.

You aren't even American. You don't know Hispanics. I do. I'm from California. I know Latino immigrants. Most Hispanics don't worry about ICE. They don't worry about telling people their ethnicity. You are trying to spread hysteria.

Furthermore, you have no idea that what you are saying has nothing to do with the unemployment rate DECREASING to historic lows. More Latinos are born here now than ever before and the trend is that way. You are spreading lies.

You don't know any Latinos, you ignoramus. You are disgustingly ignorant and white supremacist. And yes many Latinos do fear ICE, which needs to be abolished as an agency.

You don't know ****. Trump isn't doing jack **** for Latinos besides screw them over.

You are from California? Get with the times then. Latinos vote majorly for democrats. This is a democratic state. It will never go republican. Even republican areas like Orange County are changing and becoming more liberal and blue.

You are a worthless punk and your knowledge of Latinos is probably thinking taco bell is Mexican food.

1) it's not that people don't trust the system. It's that they keep getting lied to. ...

They don't trust the system because they constantly keep getting lied to ... especialy now by the Trump administration.
Just look at the ever changing stance of Trump and his administration on DACA

It has ... it describes the distrust that people in the minority districts have for the american government.
It lso describes the undercount in these minority disctricts.

So, actually if the workforce of Latinos (for example) gets undercounted (maybe not only in the major census but also the smaller censi that may take place more frequently in their community (and therefore may be directly affected by the rising fear of the ICE under Trump) then maybe their percentage of workforce participation may be overcounted)
(simply said: Census says that there are 20k able workers in Disctrict A and that 19k people from this disctrict are in a job -> workforce participation 95% ... but the district is undercounted ... in reality there are25k able workers in this disctrict ... that means that the real workforce participation may be as low as 76% )

1) it's not that people don't trust the system. It's that they keep getting lied to. You have an interest in them believing that they aren't better off, so you come up with a bunch of lies. So many lies that no one has the time for them. But things are changing. People are figuring out your scam.

2) That has nothing to do with the historic low unemployment rate for Hispanics. This is just stupid. Appeal to ignorance.

That has nothing to do with the unemployment rate. I can't be bothered with that you idiots.

The Last Major TV Factory in the U.S. Is Shutting Down Because of President Trump's Tariffs

A South Carolina plant that assembles televisions using Chinese parts plans to shut down and lay off nearly all its employees because of new tariffs imposed by the Trump Administration, the company announced this week.

Element Electronics — which describes itself as the only assembler of televisions in the U.S. — plans to lay off 126 of its 134 permanent full-time employees and close the Winnsboro, S.C. plant on Oct. 5. Notably, there are still at least two smaller companies that continue to assemble speciality televisions in the U.S.

“The layoff and closure is a result of the new tariffs that were recently and unexpectedly imposed on many goods imported from China, including the key television components used in our assembly operations in Winnsboro,” Carl Kennedy, Element’s vice president of human resources, said in a letter to the South Carolina Department of Employment and Workforce on Monday.

WASHINGTON — With the economy adding nearly 300,000 jobsin February, it’s clear that the labor market is on a roll. And, perhaps surprisingly, there is no group for whom that is truer than Hispanics.

Employment among Hispanics has increased 5 percent over the last 12 months, according to the Labor Department, compared with 3.8 percent for blacks and 1.4 percent for whites. (The last figure partly reflects the rising number of retirements among the aging white population.)

Of all the country’s major racial and ethnic groups, only Hispanics, as of late last year, had returned to their unemployment levels before the recession, according to the recent Economic Report of the President.

Given that roughly half of Hispanic workers are foreign born, that development might seem destined to aggravate nativist tensions in Congress, where Republicans have tried to roll back the president’s executive action on undocumented immigrants.
