Hispanics Aren’t Feeling The Love

The United States Hispanic Chamber of Commerce is feeling neglected, and it’s not because the immigration controversy has made the Latin constituency poisonous (though for the Republican candidates it evidently had been, at least until recently. Rather, it’s because they represent small businesses.

“To date, the candidates have focused more on issues that will hurt small business than on those that will grow small business,” says USHCC Board Chair David C Lizárga in a press release received at inc.com HQ. “We hear more about tax hikes, limiting trade policies, and the imposition of draconian immigration laws rather than plans and policies that will strengthen the nation’s small businesses. The 2008 Presidential candidates cannot continue to ignore the small business community, particularly the Hispanic business community.”*
