2015 DATOS AZ OYE! Intelligence Education & Entertainment ReportOYE! Intelligence
For 19 years, the Arizona Hispanic Chamber’s DATOS: The State of the Hispanic Market report has been tracking, measuring and analyzing the ongoing economic, political and cultural transformation being driven by the state’s fast-growing Hispanic population.

The State of Hispanic Homeownership Report™ is a publication of the Hispanic Wealth Project and NAHREP.
In this sixth installment, the report highlights the homeownership growth and household formation rates of Hispanics as well as their educational achievements, entrepreneurial endeavors, labor force profile, and purchasing power in the United States.
This year’s edition also analyzes data sets over broader periods of time to provide a comparative analysis of this past year and of historical data. Because the Hispanic market is more than just a collection of individual consumers with discrete market-specific behaviors, the association evaluates research from within and outside of the housing industry. This holistic approach to analysis of trends, motivators, and other data is key in identifying barriers that impede homeownership, and market factors that can foster an environment for homeownership gains.

The document summarizes the goals and background of the Hispanic Wealth Project, which aims to triple median Hispanic household wealth by 2024. It provides an analysis of recent economic indicators and trends related to Latino financial health. Key points include:
- Median Hispanic household wealth has increased 49.3% from 2013 to 2016, putting them slightly below the needed trajectory to meet the goal of tripling wealth by 2024.
- The wealth gap between Hispanic and white families has grown but proportionally decreased, with white households holding $8.30 for every $1 of Hispanic wealth in 2016 compared to $10.36 in 2013.

This document provides an overview and comparison of the economies of Brazil and Chile. It discusses the countries' histories, demographics, cultures, economies, and risks. Brazil has a larger population and economy than Chile, with its GDP estimated at $3.275 trillion compared to Chile's $392 billion. Both countries rely heavily on natural resource exports such as copper, soybeans, and oil. Their economies face risks from fluctuations in commodity prices and economic recessions.
The number of Hispanic entrepreneurs in the United States more than tripled between 1990 and 2012, growing from 577,000 to over 2 million. This growth significantly outpaced the increase in the Hispanic working age population and the rise in non-Hispanic self-employment. In particular, the number of Hispanic immigrant entrepreneurs quadrupled over this period, with Mexican immigrant entrepreneurs increasing by a factor of 5.4. This surge in Hispanic entrepreneurship helped lessen the economic impact of the recent recession.

- The US Hispanic population is around 60 million but their buying power has not caught up to their size due to lower average incomes and wealth levels compared to the total US population.
- While Hispanic incomes and education levels have been rising, their average income remains below the US average and median wealth is low at around $20,700 compared to $97,300 for all US families.
- The recession hit Hispanics especially hard, wiping out a large portion of their wealth, and many have not fully recovered financially. However, rising education levels and growing numbers of high-income Hispanic households point to improving financial prospects

Jamestown Trends + Views Peru - 20130722 Ferhat Guven
- Peru's economy has performed well over the last decade, but its political system remains dysfunctional, with individuals rather than institutions dominating politics.
- The possibility of First Lady Nadine Heredia running for president in 2016 is a major focus of media attention and controversy, with polls showing most Peruvians opposed to the idea.
- Support for President Humala has dropped partly due to perceptions that he aims to perpetuate power for himself and his wife, as well as recent economic slowing, adding to the political intrigue.
The document provides data about Clinton County, Indiana from 2000-2013/2020. It covers topics such as demography, economy, and labor market. Some key findings are:
- The county's population declined slightly between 2000-2013 due to domestic migration out of the county outpacing international migration and natural growth.
- The population is aging as the proportion of residents over 50 increased while the proportion of working-age residents declined.
- The Hispanic population doubled between 2000-2013, increasing their share of the county's population.

The population of Harrison County increased 14% between 2000-2013, driven by natural increase and domestic in-migration. While the population grew, it aged, as seen in shifting population pyramids. The number of establishments doubled from 2000-2011, primarily through new establishments rather than relocating establishments. Top employers span local, national, and global industries. Government and manufacturing jobs declined the most between 2002-2013, while real estate grew 38%.
The number of establishments in Harrison County doubled between 2000 and 2011, largely due to the natural increase of new businesses being launched. By 2011, the majority of establishments (57%) fell into Stage 1, having 2-9 employees. The top five employers in 2015 included Horseshoe Southern Indiana casino, Harrison County Hospital, Tyson Foods, Blue River Services housing nonprofit, and ICON Metal Forming, producing a mix of local, national and global goods and services.
Brazil has been recognized as an emerging world power due to hosting the 2014 World Cup and 2016 Olympics, though it still faces issues with violence, corruption, and inequality. While the country has reduced inequality and expanded its influence in the past decade, journalists continue to be murdered - Brazil was one of the deadliest countries for media in 2012. Media ownership is also highly concentrated among a few wealthy families, limiting diversity and pluralism.
Jamestown Latin America Trends + Views: Urbanization in Latin AmericaFerhat Guven
The document discusses urbanization trends in Latin America and their implications for the housing market. It notes that Latin America is the most urbanized developing region, with over 80% of the population living in cities. Rapid urbanization has been driven by economic opportunities and quality of life factors in cities. However, urbanization has also created challenges around infrastructure, housing shortages, and inequality. The real estate market has grown in response to demand from urban populations but still faces issues around affordability and supply.

U.S. Marketers are quickly shifting growth priorities among multicultural (MC) segments, especially since the White Non-Hispanic (WNH) segment has been declining since 2016. The MC economic outlook for 2018 looks remarkably powerful for several reasons:
• The Employment-Participation rate is higher than WNH and continues to step up, especially for Hispanics
• Unemployment rate is at record lows for all MC segments
• Personal Income has continued to increase for all MC segments while it has slowed down for WNH.

Colombia - In the Limbo of Success and CatastropheJuan Pablo Poch
Colombia has experienced a long history of political violence since gaining independence from Spain in 1810. The country was divided between liberals and conservatives, which led to eight civil wars in the 1800s and early 1900s. This impaired the central government and resulted in the secessions of Venezuela, Ecuador, and Panama. In the late 1920s, the parties began supporting paramilitary groups to terrorize populations with different political views. The ongoing violence has led to numerous guerrilla groups, most notably the FARC. While the economy has grown in recent decades, drug trafficking and poverty remain challenges.

The document discusses the growing Hispanic population and market in the United States. Some key points include:
- The Hispanic population in the US grew 46% in the last decade and makes up over 50 million people.
- Hispanics have a buying power of $1.3 trillion in 2013 that is growing rapidly.
- Areas outside traditional Hispanic population centers like Miami are seeing the fastest growth, such as Charlotte, NC.
- Reaching the Hispanic market requires investing in research, developing culturally relevant products and services, and establishing a bilingual customer service infrastructure.
This document discusses trends in the Hispanic consumer market in the United States. It finds that the Hispanic population, especially younger cohorts, is growing rapidly and influencing American culture. Hispanics now make up 16% of the US population and control 10% of discretionary spending. The markets seeing the largest growth in Hispanic populations are spread across the country. Hispanic consumers tend to be more optimistic about their financial future compared to non-Hispanics. While language preferences vary by generation, three-quarters of Hispanic adults prefer to speak at least some Spanish. Advertising in Spanish resonates even with many English-dominant Hispanics. Technology and retail websites visited by Spanish-speaking consumers reflect this demographic's influence.
The LIBRE Institute seeks to strengthen Hispanic communities through economic prosperity programs. It aims to educate Hispanics on financial wellness and entrepreneurship to increase independence. Surveys show Hispanics want more information on personal finances and entrepreneurship. The Institute works to address this need through its Economic Prosperity Pillar.
This document discusses marketing strategies for reaching Hispanic consumers in the United States. It notes that the Hispanic population and buying power are growing significantly, with Hispanics projected to make up 30% of the U.S. population by 2050. To effectively market to Hispanics, the document recommends using video content, as Hispanics spend more time watching online video than average, especially on smartphones. It also stresses that marketing should go beyond just translation, as many Hispanics are English speakers who consume both Spanish and English media. The document provides five predictions for the future of marketing to Hispanics.
The document discusses demographic trends in the Atlanta area based on 2020 Census data and other sources. It finds that the Hispanic/Latinx population increased substantially in the Atlanta region from 2000-2020, and now represents over 12% of the population of the Atlanta metro area. The Hispanic/Latinx population increased in all areas analyzed and accounted for a significant portion of total population growth. The documents also projects that the Hispanic/Latinx population will continue to increase rapidly in the Atlanta region through 2050 based on Census forecasts.
Puerto Ricans make up the largest Latino population in Boston, comprising 28% of the city's Latinos. Over 30,000 Puerto Ricans lived in Boston according to the 2010 Census. Puerto Ricans in Boston have a median age of 27 and are more likely to live in poverty (46%) compared to other groups. They have lower educational attainment and household incomes than other Boston residents.
This document provides demographic profiles of the Dominican population in Boston, which makes up 24% of the city's Latinos.

This document is a summary of a group project submitted by 6 students to their professor on the topic of population growth and economic development. It discusses 3 learning objectives: 1) the relationship between population growth and income growth, 2) Thomas Malthus' prediction of a "Malthusian trap", and 3) the demographic transition in developed vs developing countries. It provides figures and explanations of concepts like the Malthusian trap, the demographic transition, and how income levels affect population growth rates.
The document summarizes data about Brazilians living in the United States. It estimates that between 803,000 to 1.4 million Brazilians lived in the US in 2007, with the largest populations in Massachusetts, Florida, California, New York, and New Jersey. Brazilians have a median age of 35.8, higher rates of labor force participation, and are more likely to be self-employed or work in service, construction, or management/professional occupations compared to all immigrants and native residents.
2018 State of Hispanic Homeownership Report by NAHREP GREATER LAS VEGAS Jesse B. Lucero
The 2018 State of Hispanic Homeownership Report published by the National Association of Hispanic Real Estate Professionals analyzes Hispanic homeownership trends in the U.S. It finds that in 2018, Hispanics achieved the largest net gain in homeowners since 2005, raising the Hispanic homeownership rate to 47.1%. Hispanics have accounted for 62.7% of net homeownership gains over the past decade and are projected to drive over half of new homeowners in coming years. Factors contributing to these gains include high rates of household formation, labor force participation, and population and income growth among Hispanics.
Brazilians exemplify a migrant group that is well connected through transnational ties. These activities by migrant groups are important to highlight, as they have potential development impacts in both the migrants’ home and host countries. This paper looks at the characteristics of Brazilian migrants in the United States and their participation in transnational activities using data from a study of Brazilians living in Massachusetts conducted in 2007.
Hispanics accounted for over half of the total US population growth between 2000 and 2010. The Hispanic population grew to 50.5 million, a 43% increase, with those under 18 growing by 39%. Most Hispanics live in nine states including California, Texas, and Florida, but the population more than doubled in several southern states. Hispanics were responsible for the only growth in six states, and while Michigan's overall population declined, its Hispanic population grew.

areas that affect the Hispanic community and all Americans;
2. To identify policy and programmatic areas of concern, receive and respond to constructive
criticism and feedback, and highlight local success stories and practices in policy areas that
benefit the Hispanic community and our nation;
3. To identify and develop opportunities for Hispanic leaders and stakeholders to collaborate with
the Obama Administration and other leaders from across their region to address the interests
and concerns of the Hispanic community.
To accomplish these goals, the summits have two key sessions, a session that gives participants an
opportunity to hear from Administration officials on work being done on
critically important policy areas affecting the Hispanic community, and an innovative session based on
the “Open Space” process that ensures that Hispanic leaders and Administration officials work together
to set the day’s agenda by identifying issues of particular importance to Hispanics in the region. The
“Open Space” process allows communities to fully explore and discuss the issues most important to
them and to identify next steps for community action.
A total of eight regional summits were held in the fall of 2011:
September 9 Orlando, FL
October 1 Las Vegas, NV
October 18 New York, NY
October 27 Las Cruces, NM
October 29 Denver, CO
November 5 Riverside, CA
November 12 Albuquerque, NM
December 2 Miami, FL
As a result of the positive feedback received from Hispanic community leaders and federal officials
regarding the White House Hispanic Community Action Summits, the White House Office of Public
Engagement and the White House Initiative will have held additional summits by May 2012 in San Jose
and Los Angeles, CA; Phoenix and Tucson, AZ; Tampa, FL; Arlington, VA; Milwaukee, WI; Durham, NC;
Loraine County, OH; and San Antonio, TX.
To date, close to 3,000 Hispanic and community leaders have participated in these summits, with more
than 70 federal government officials sharing their expertise on hundreds of topics of interest and
concern to the Hispanic community. During the course of the 2011 summits, more than 500 topics and
issues were raised and discussed during the Open Space process, some of which are detailed in this
report. A selection of concrete next steps that have been taken by the federal government and summit
participants in direct response to the summits are outlined below.
Among the issues Administration officials have brought to these summits are the following examples.
Cecilia Muñoz, then Deputy Assistant to the President and Director of Intergovernmental Affairs for the
White House, joined summit participants via Skype in Las Vegas, during which time she stressed the
importance of the summit as a real opportunity for the community to engage in meaningful dialogue
with senior Administration officials and identify sound recommendations on how the federal
government can effectively and efficiently address the interests and needs of the Hispanic community.
12. INTERIM REPORT: WHITE HOUSE HISPANIC COMMUNITY ACTION SUMMITS 12
Affordable Care Act’s Impact on Small Businesses: CMS and the Small Business Administration
facilitated a session for small business owners in Orlando to address concerns regarding the
impact of the Affordable Care Act on health insurance costs for small businesses. CMS and the
SBA committed to publishing regular healthcare updates in the local Orlando paper as the
Affordable Care Act is implemented throughout the Florida.
Connecting People to Health Care Resources Under the Affordable Care Act: In Las Vegas, NV,
Director Niñoprovided information about programs that enable individuals with disabilities to
return to work without fear of losing their Medicaid benefits via the Ticket to Work and Work
Incentives Improvement Act. During the roundtable discussion, Niño also discussed preventative
services offered to Medicare participants, new protections now afforded to children with pre‐
existing conditions, the expansion of health insurance to young adults under 26, as well as many
of the new Long‐Term Services and Supports state options will make available to better serve
the elderly and disabled populations under the Affordable Care Act. U.S. Department of Health
and Human Services regional director Herb Schultz connected a Riverside, CA, summit attendee
who was dealing with a number of issues related to diabetes and qualifications for disability
status, to regional CMS staff and California's Managed Risk Medical Insurance Board to discuss
potential enrollment in the Pre‐Existing Condition Insurance Program (PCIP), authorized under
the Affordable Care Act. Regional director Schultz also convened a Region IX Listening Session on
November 21, 2011, to obtain input on Essential Health Benefits under the Affordable Care Act
and is working with the Healthy San Bernardino Coalition, University of California‐Riverside, and
other regional health care consortia to provide workshops, information sessions, and other
public engagement opportunities to highlight the benefits of the Affordable Care Act on the
Latino community.
Investing in Community Health Workers, “Promotores”: Under the Affordable Care Act–
between Medicaid Expansion and private state exchanges – it is estimated that up to 9 million
Latinos will have access to health insurance. Implementation of the Affordable Care Act is not
only the creation of new programs, new streams of funding, and cuts to inefficient activities in
our healthcare system, it is also expanding access and delivery systems to ensure all Americans
are educated and informed about the opportunities available to them under the Act, especially
within the Hispanic community. Earlier this year, the Office of Minority Health in the U.S.
Department of Health and Human Services, took the bold step of recognizing the great work
performed by Promotores de Salud by announcing the National Promotores de
Salud/Community Health Workers (Community Health Workers) Initiative. This initiative
recognizes the important contributions of the Promotores de Salud/CHWs in reaching
vulnerable, low income, and underserved members of Hispanic populations, and promotes the
increased engagement of promotores to support health education and prevention efforts, and
improve access to health care services. Educating the Hispanic community about the Affordable
Care Act and the impact on the health of Hispanic families is an essential part of rebuilding our
communities. On December 5, 2011, regional director Schultz provided keynote remarks at the
Visión y Compromiso event in Los Angeles, CA, speaking to more than 800 community health
workers (promotores) from California. California's Low‐Income Health Program enables
thousands of previously uninsured individuals to enroll in Medicaid‐like coverage, an option
made available through the Affordable Care Act.
Retirees and the Affordable Care Act: After the Riverside, CA, summit, Regional director Herb
Schultz also held a follow‐up conference call to discuss the high costs of retiree health care and
15. INTERIM REPORT: WHITE HOUSE HISPANIC COMMUNITY ACTION SUMMITS 15
Security, the following trainings and meetings have been facilitated and/or are scheduled to
continue to educate the community and Administration officials about the new reforms in place
and to ensure consistent implementation:
o All Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers, lawyers, and agents are undergoing
scenario‐based training on the use of prosecutorial discretion (PD) to ensure its
consistent use of PD in communities across the country.
o In November, a state assembly member from Las Vegas, NV, who attended the summit,
facilitated a community dialogue with over 100 community leaders, local law
enforcement, and DHS officials as a direct follow‐up to concerns raised at the Summit.
o In early December, Senior DHS officials met with immigration lawyers and advocates
that attended the Denver Summit to discuss the pilot case‐by‐case review process of
pending immigration cases in the court system.
o In February 2012, DHS Ombudsman January Contreras facilitated follow‐up roundtable
discussions with Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials, immigration
advocates, lawyers, and community leaders who attended Summits in Riverside, CA, and
Albuquerque, NM, to continue to improve communication and collaboration between
immigration officials and the communities in which they serve.
Creating a More Humane Detention System: Summit attendees in Las Cruces, NM, raised
concerns about the immigration detention system and provided recommendations on reforms
to create a more humane detention system. As a result of the summit session, participants
were connected with the immigration policy advisor at the Domestic Policy Council to discuss
DHS’ effort to implement critical reforms to the detention system that enhance security and
efficiency while prioritizing the health and safety of detainees. A concrete example of current
reforms administered is the creation of the Online Detainee Locator System, a public, internet‐
based tool that assists family members, attorneys, and other interested parties in locating
individuals in DHS custody, and the February 2012 release of revised national detention
standards, comprehensive standards drafted in collaboration with stakeholders that regulate
the safety and conditions of detainees Additional reform recommendations were also shared
with DPC and White House representatives and are currently under review to determine next
steps in improving the system.
Coalition Building to Support Comprehensive Immigration Reform: Several participants who
attended the Orlando, FL, Summit decided to form their own community organization to provide
accurate information and assistance on immigration issues to Hispanics living in Central Florida.
Administration officials, including Gabriel Sandoval, senior counsel, Office for Civil Rights, U.S.
Department of Education, have had subsequent conversations with these leaders to answer
their questions and provide them with guidance.
Honoring Latino Heritage
Recognizing Contributions of Latinos in America: Francisco Carrillo, U.S. Department of the
Interior (DOI), held an open space discussion at the Riverside, CA, summit regarding Secretary of
the Interior Ken Salazar’s American Latino Heritage Initiative. A discussion was held on how to
17. INTERIM REPORT: WHITE HOUSE HISPANIC COMMUNITY ACTION SUMMITS 17
e. Increasing Access to Intensive Employment Services: Post‐9/11 veterans are now able
to download the Veteran Gold Card, which entitles them to enhanced reemployment
services including six months of personalized case management, assessments, and
counseling at an estimated 3,000 One‐Stop Career Centers located across the country.
This will help serve the 250,000 unemployed Post‐9/11 veterans.
3. Creating New Opportunities for Improving College Affordability: On October 26, in Denver, the
President announced that we would allow certain borrowers to cap their student loan payments
at 10% of discretionary income beginning next year. He also announced efforts to encourage
borrowers to consolidate their direct loans with old Federal Family Education Loans, as well as a
model financial aid disclosure form to help students better understand and easily compare aid
packages offered by different institutions.
4. Helping Small Businesses Create Jobs: On October 28, we issued two Presidential Memoranda
to help small businesses create jobs. One memorandum directed agencies to take steps to
speed up the transfer of Federal research from the laboratory to the marketplace. The other
directed the creation of BusinessUSA, an online platform where businesses that want to begin
or increase exporting can access information about available Federal programs. This was
announced via a press conference call with Administrator Mills and Acting Deputy Secretary of
Commerce Blank.
5. Reforming Head Start: On November 8, outside of Philadelphia, the President announced
important steps to improve the quality of services and accountability at Head Start centers
across the country.
6. Launching Small Business Innovation Fund: On December 8, in conjunction with the first board
meeting of the Startup America Partnership, Administrator Mills announced that SBA is moving
forward with launching a $1 billion Early Stage Innovation Fund that will provide matching
capital to small business investment companies. We also announced commitments from more
than 50 private‐sector partners to deliver over $1 billion in value to 100,000 startups over the
next three years.
7. Summer Jobs for Youth: On January 5, the Administration announced Summer Jobs+, a new call
to action for businesses, non‐profits, and government to work together to provide pathways to
employment for low‐income and disconnected youth in the summer of 2012. We announced
commitments of nearly 180,000 employment opportunities for low‐income youth in the
summer of 2012, and a goal of reaching 250,000 employment opportunities by the start of
summer, at least 100,000 of which will be placements in paid jobs and internships.

center in the United States with the help of government; 3) the need for a new generation of
educated farmers to sell their products on the market; 4) the coordination of trade missions,
specifically to Central and South American markets; 5) the availability of the export‐import
program to ensure payment of goods sold abroad; and 6) the availability of a guest worker
program for Puerto Rican farmers to recruit agricultural workers from other countries.
Education
Garnering support for college completion through community outreach and education fairs; and
establish relationships and enlisting support from elected officials, e.g., outreach to parents,
workshops on financial aid, the hosting of Hispanic education advocacy week on college and
university campuses.
Fostering equity in education by addressing the failure of schools to involve Limited English
Proficient (LEP) parents in education programs, improving nutrition on school campuses, and
holding community meetings to address socioeconomic, academic, and civil and human rights
issues affecting the Hispanic community.
Improving the quality of education for Hispanic students by addressing the dropout rate,
advocating for universal preschool, youth involvement, and parental engagement and
empowerment; reevaluating high schools serving Hispanics, e.g., trades and apprenticeships;
promoting after school programs; exposing Hispanic students to college life.
Identifying higher education practices and policies prohibiting or obstructing degree completion
and academic success of Hispanic college students; there is a need for better services to assist
transfers from community colleges to four‐year institutions; pipelines must be developed to
assist with the effective transfer or employment of students; goal should be to create one place
to help Hispanic families and students identify and secure resources for education attainment;
strong relationships should be established to ensure that high school students know the
academic courses they should take to meet college entrance requirements and do well in
college; more informed guidance counselors are required to assist Hispanic students.
Enforcing civil rights in our public schools to ensure that students are not discriminated against
because of race, color or national origin under Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 is
important. There should be increased focus on discrimination against English Learner students
and students who are immigrants or whose parents are immigrants.
Building a pipeline of an educated and skilled community in Science, Technology, Engineering,
and Mathematics (STEM) to strengthen our economic vitality and increase quality of life—
students of color need STEM role models; a lack of Latino/a STEM college professors exists; a
need exists to better integrate STEM into core math and science courses to expose more
students; lack of transportation for internships also serves as a barrier.
Improving education of English Learner students: early childhood students have little or no
exposure to bilingual pre‐K public school programs; a shortage of qualified teachers exists and
additional problems can be found within the pipeline, e.g., content area bilingual teachers and
early childhood education teachers; a lack of tracking exists with respect to the allocation of
20. INTERIM REPORT: WHITE HOUSE HISPANIC COMMUNITY ACTION SUMMITS 20
general operating funds generated by EL students; transparency and accountability must exist
regarding how exactly state and federal funds are used to actually affect EL students positively.
Addressing the critical need for vocational and technical education and training; under the
German model, unemployed Germans are required to retrain—a condition that must be met
before receiving unemployment benefits; not all high school students are college bound, and
vocational and technical education training can provide opportunities.
Improving the education attainment of the Hispanic community requires a focus on early
childhood learning, parental engagement, access to higher education, cross‐collaborative
partnerships, and civil rights enforcement, e.g., bullying and harassment in the classroom;
critical to speak about the importance of attending college to children at an early age; parents,
schools, and other community stakeholders must create a safe and engaging environment at the
school site and provide information to Limited English Proficient parents that is
understandable—one school, for example, established a relationship with a software company
that allows teachers and Limited English Proficient parents to communicate through a system
translation service; we need ensure that STEM courses are not taught by out‐of‐field teachers in
low‐income schools and that equity exists among all schools.
Promoting participation in policy and providing the tools by schools through which students,
parents and educators can further organize and mobilize to be informed and to better
participate in education policymaking—this objective can be achieved by providing such
community organizing curriculum for students and parents as provided by schools and
universities; one of the greatest challenges to education policymaking, both at the state and
federal policy levels, is that those influenced by education policy, i.e., students, parents and
educators, are rarely involved in policymaking—often the economics of education, which may
be largely informed by ideology, informs which types of policies are leveraged over others;
challenges continue with regard to transparency of education data, especially in higher
education, such as funding based on attendance, which may support dropout variables—how
can this process be more open?
Health Care
Building capacity to address the mental health needs of the Hispanic community; the elderly and
returning veterans, including undocumented immigrants who enlist to secure immigration
papers, are encountering mental health issues; a national public education campaign should be
established to counter the stigmatization often felt by Hispanics with mental or other health
issues; poorly addressed mental health issues are contributing to the stigmatization of Latinos.
Ensuring that hospitals and other medical facilities communicate with Limited English patients in
a language that they understand is critically important for the health of the community;
legislation should be passed to ensure the presence of qualified interpreters at medical facilities
to prevent seclusion, restraint, and medication directly resulting from lack of language
comprehension.
Educating the community about USDA programs, e.g., Supplemental Nutrition Assistance
Program (SNAP); the USDA Food and Nutrition Service is working with USDA’s Center for Faith
21. INTERIM REPORT: WHITE HOUSE HISPANIC COMMUNITY ACTION SUMMITS 21
Based and Neighborhood partnerships on a collaborative Hispanic outreach strategy, known as
La Mesa Completa, and what an important role faith‐based and neighborhood community
organizations play in amplifying access to underserved communities; the USDA Food and
Nutrition Service Web site has information on all 15 assistance programs, including the SNAP
program: www.fns.usda.gov/fns.
Fixing Our Broken Immigration System
Our broken immigration system must address three issues: 1) procedures while an
undocumented immigrant is in custody; 2) unfair current and proposed laws; and 3) unfair
deportations and separation of families:
oo With respect to in‐custody procedures, the following issues are of concern: abuse of
authority by immigration officials, denial of basic rights, (i.e., right to an attorney,
explanation of actions taken), lack of information for affected families about the status
of detained family members, lack of community informative sessions and law updates in
a language understood by the community, racial profiling, and lack of proper training of
immigration officials (i.e., conducting case reviews, adjudicating final decisions, having
adequate review and taking appropriate actions toward those who violate rules,
regulations, and authority, minimizing the violation of civil rights);
oo Concerning unfair current and proposed state laws, the following issues are of concern:
the inquisition of the legal status of Hispanic children in school; teachers having the
unnecessary burden of determining the legal status of students and acting as federal
immigration agents; the lack of trust of the judicial system and of attorneys practicing
immigration law; and the lack of accessible information to the Hispanic community
regarding immigration‐related matters; and
oo Regarding deportations and the separation of families, the following issues are of
concern: many instances exist where the deportations of minor children can be
prevented; lack of procedures in determining who is eligible or not eligible for
deportation; and a lack of resources available to United States citizens’ families
currently facing deportation proceedings.
The DREAM Act: Creating opportunities for DREAMers who graduate from professional schools
to obtain work visas. Without financial aid, many undocumented students will be prevented
from obtaining an education and be forced to drop out;; the network and resources for
undocumented students are small, and they are, as a result, shut out of the school system; what
should be done regarding DREAMers who already have their degrees? All students should be
expected to go to college and be reminded that they are smart and that the community is
counting on them; bigger issues should be addressed because undocumented immigrants pay
taxes and do not receive anything in return.
The lack of national immigration reform leads to states attempting to deal with immigration on
their own, often with negative consequences, e.g., anti‐immigrant sentiments.
