Hispanic Hiring On the Rise Among U.S. Businesses

Workplace raids throughout the United States resulted in the arrest and deportation of close to 5,000 illegal immigrants in 2007, up from 500 in 2002. This is a mere fraction of the 7 million to 8 million illegal immigrants working in the United States, according to the Pew Hispanic Center, a not-for-profit think tank.

The majority (75 percent) of Hispanics oppose workplace raids geared toward finding foreign workers illegally in the country.

On the other hand, about 51 percent of non-Hispanics believe such raids to be an effective preventive measure against job losses to illegal aliens, according to the December 2007 Pew survey titled, “2007 National Survey of Latinos: As Illegal Immigration Issue Heats Up, Hispanics Feel a Chill.”"*
