More Latinos Have Serious Concerns About Their Place in America Under Trump

By immigrationprof

 

Line chart showing that Hispanics say their situation in the U.S. has deteriorated in the past year, rivaling views during the Great Recession.

Mark Hugo Lopez, Ana Gonzalez-Barrera and Jens Manuel Krogstad for the Pew Research Center have a new report (More Latinos Have Serious Concerns About Their Place in America Under Trump):

“Half of Latinos say their situation in the U.S. has worsened over the past year, up from 32% in the weeks after Donald Trump won the 2016 presidential election and the highest level since the Great Recession.1 In addition, more say they have serious concerns about their place in American society now (49%) than in 2017 (41%). And a majority (55%) say they are worried that they, a family member or close friend could be deported.

Many blame the current administration for what they see as the worsening situation of Hispanics, the nation’s largest minority group.”
