The Mayor of Hazleton is Lou Barletta, famous for signing a law making English the official language of the city, and fining landlords for renting to illegals (later struck down by a Federal court).
The reason for the growth is also due to the fact that PA has better Welfare benefits than many other states.

How does one qualify to become Hispanic? As far as I can tell the only qualificaiton is to have been born in a place once colonized by Spain? If so, everyone born in states like Florida, New Mexico, Arizona MUST be Hispanic. What other qualifications are there? How does one prove one is Hispanic?

That's near Scranton. I wonder if VP Joe Biden was available for comment?
Assuming he doesn't have an appointment for his teeth and/or plugs.

No, because the cesspool that New York and New Jersey are, they come here and (eventually) elect the same scum from over there.

“From my perspective … it’s a great thing for the region."It's great for those employed in the corrections and social work field. Pretty much, for everyone else, it's a burden.
It'd be nice if they'd wait in line and come through at a reasonable pace like just about everyone else, but I guess that's too much to ask.

This article is nothing but a Hispano-Racist rah rah piece.
You substitute all the “Hispanic” and “Spanish” with “White” and “English”....and all the Ethno-Racist groups would be crying racism.

Back in the sixties, when I was in the USAF, I met so many great guys from PA. I am so sorry that they are having such a terrible time with hispanics and africans there. They do not deserve to have to put up with that sorry bunch of freeloading criminals.
