Latinos worry about being targeted for crime - Maryland

David Baker, the county police department’s hate crimes coordinator, said immigrants, particularly illegal immigrants, are ideal for criminals.

‘‘There’s no better target to hit,” he said. ‘‘There’s cash in their pocket, they’re out at all hours of the night, they’re oftentimes alone, sometimes they’ve been drinking and they [attackers] know they’re not going to call the police.”

He added, ‘‘I guarantee you that in certain parts of the county, unreported robberies are out of control.””*
