Latino influx, contributions discussed - Latino Suburban Roundtable in Chicago

“Nearly 100 suburban civic leaders and government officials convened at the Latino Suburban Roundtable on Wednesday night to discuss how to better assimilate the immigrant residents in their communities.

Mayors, religious leaders, educators and activists came from Aurora, Carpentersville, Elgin, Joliet, Roselle and other communities for the discussion. The University of Notre Dame and the Metropolitan Mayors Caucus, which organized the event, invited these particular suburbs because of the recent increase in their Latino population.”
