Retaining Hispanics, Spanish speakers key, Coast Guard chief says

“The Coast Guard is focusing on retaining Hispanic and Spanish-speaking front-line workers as it aims to intercept illegal immigrants, the service’s leader said Monday.

The Coast Guard’s ability to maintain itself in national crises such as the aftermath of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks and Hurricane Katrina has contributed to its best retention record since World War II, said Commandant Adm. Thad Allen at the Excellence in Government conference in Washington.”
