Hispanics Bearing the Brunt of Xenophobia

Angry at what some believe is federal inaction in policing borders, states and localities are adopting a slew of laws that deny services to undocumented residents, prompt police to act as Immigration Customs Enforcement agents, penalize employers who hire them and make English the “official” language. In a creepy Stalinist twist, Arizona actively encourages ordinary citizens to report any businesses that employ suspicious, foreign-looking characters.

Individuals of Hispanic backgrounds bear the brunt of this xenophobia since they are thought to be the biggest violators. Supposedly, some 12 million undocumented immigrants, most presumably Latino, have so far invaded the sanctity of the United States.”*
