“According to data from the U.S. Census Bureau, 5,563 Hispanics called Waukesha home in 2000, making up a about 9.5% of the population. In addition, an estimated 2,000 to 3,000 undocumented workers live and work in the area, said Anselmo Villarreal, executive director of La Casa de Esperanza, a social services agency focused on serving the Hispanic community.
