Land of Opportunity

Too many people in our state, often influenced by inflammatory rhetoric, tend to paint Hispanic immigrants with a broad brush dipped in misconceptions and negative stereotypes. Among them that they are poorly educated, low-skilled people coming to take our jobs and take advantage of our public education and welfare systems. Studies show the positive economic impact of Hispanic immigrants in our state far outweighs any social costs and employers will tell you that they are not "taking" jobs, but merely filling positions that most Americans won't take.
