The small business owners who rent space inside El Mercadito shopping mall in Memphis offer a bit of everything: jewelry, insurance, cell phones, cowboy boots. Shoppers can play video games, eat at a restaurant or pause at the monument to the Virgin of Guadalupe, which is decorated with Christmas lights.
Most of the shoppers are Mexican immigrants or their children. But business at the Hickory Hill shopping mall has dropped by about 50 percent in the past couple of months as wary immigrants stay close to home, said mall owner Gaspar Perez.
“Everything that the president said has affected me,” he said.
President Donald Trump's push for increased deportations has spread apprehension among millions of Hispanics living throughout the nation.

Never make business plans based on illegal activity
Good.
Can anybody in Memphis live normally?
I mean, with all the lead flying around and all?
immigrants have NOTHING to fear
ILLEGALS LAW BREAKERS CRIMINALS
best go home...
I know plenty of immigrants, but they did it legally.
If they are LEGAL immigrants, they have nothing to worry about. If they are ILLEGAL immigrants, they do.
First, if they are illegal alien invaders, they should be deported, have their assets seized and never allowed to come back. If they are legal immigrants, they have nothing to fear. Stop calling illegal alien invaders “immigrants”.
Great news.
My Wife is an Immigrant, and she is NOT in Fear at all, why are they??
Maybe because my wife has a Green Card and is Legal?? Should she be worried?
Somebody please help me understand.
Assimilating.....You're doing it wrong.
If enough of these small businesses go under, more and more illegals will head back to their home countries. Winning, IMHO.
Armed robbers hid in grandmothers' attics in fear of getting arrested
Pedophiles worry about getting caught with kiddie porn
drug dealers worry about dea enforcement
illegal immigrants (formerly known as "wetbacks") worry about getting deported
All of these things have one thing in common. CRIMINAL ACTIONS. If you commit a crime there are (or at least should be) consequences.
The media's sob stories NEVER look at the cost to the law abiding citizens of the USA for these criminal invaders. They come here and immediately start sucking up welfare, daycare (public skools), healthcare (medicade), housing, etc. ALL AT THE TAXPAYERS' EXPENSE
Amazing! How they can beat around the bush and never mention THE real subject; ILLEGAL immigrants. Legals have nothing to fear. So those skulking in the shadows are obviously illegals. And yet these bleeding heart writers keep priming the pump to get tears for lawbreakers.
Immigrants have nothing to worry about. Illegal aliens, OTOH, should.
Come to the U.S. legally, you can stay.
Come to the U.S. illegally, you get deported.
Seems pretty simple to understand, OK?
Try entering Mexico illegally, JAIL TIME!
I can envision Hispanics walking around, eyes upward, whistling nonchalantly.
If you break the law, you SHOULD live in fear of being arrested...
There. Fixed it.
