A Pew Hispanic Center analysis of census and Labor Department data has found that, for the first time in five years, foreign-born Hispanics have a higher unemployment rate than Hispanics born in the U.S. The unemployment rate for Hispanic immigrants in the first months of this year is 7.5 percent compared with 6.9 percent among native-born Hispanics.

Could it be lack of speaking and understanding ENGLISH helped this along? Or do they already have the entitlement mentality for the “American Dream”.

The unemployment rate for Hispanic immigrants in the first months of this year is 7.5 percent

It is still way too low, should be 100% if they are illegal.

The Pew study also found that the overall Hispanic unemployment in the first three months of this year was 6.5 percent compared with a 4.7 rate for non-Hispanics.

looks like many 'non-hispanics' are willing to do these jobs......

I predict that there will soon be a great increase in property/theft/robbery crimes soon.

I smell a taxpayer-subsidized aid program in the offing.
