She goes on to say that even witnesses, victims, or even just a person pulled over for a traffic stop can be asked. Latinos already had a pretty sketchy relationship with the police, but this has made them even more scared to talk to them. This has caused a great decline in reports of hispanic residents. A lot of people, including the hispanic/latino community, believe this bill violates the first amendment. This ruling will cause immigrants to constantly be on the watch for police and be afraid to be out in public, go to the store, etc., because this says that it will be allowed for local authority to ask about their immigration status.

    The final and most important reason why Puerto Rico should become a state is the disadvantages Puerto Ricans have remaining as a Commonwealth of the United States. Ever since Puerto Ricans have become citizens in 1917, their right to vote has been repeatedly rejected by Congress (Roman 1). This type of rule can be easily compared to the monarchy that ruled Britain in 1776, Puerto Ricans representing the exploited Colonists. The Federal District Court of Puerto Rico had ruled that Puerto Ricans “had a fundamental right to vote in presidential elections based on their American citizenship” (Roman 1); however, “the Constitution of the United States does not expressly grant United States citizens the right to vote,” only states have the right to vote (Janicker 3).

Now you are probably asking yourself why have I carefully chosen these three words to truly describe what it means to be Hispanic in my mind.

    Senator Robinson believes that Senator Thomas’s bill will prevent the police from successfully tracking suspected criminals. While this may be true, that would be a desired outcome. Our legal system is contingent upon the presumption that citizens are considered innocent until proven guilty, therefore, if the police have no articulable basis for the probable cause necessary to obtain a warrant to track a person of interest in a criminal investigation, they should not be permitted to track them. While the police must be allowed to serve their role in our society and ensure the safety of the public, the liberty and privacy interests at stake are too vital to be outweighed by the debatable security…

    Being a Latino in America is difficult because most Latinos are considered immigrants even though that is not true. Latinos have to deal with so many things like discrimination, being looked down at, seen as worthless, or looked at as either teen moms or gangsters by society. All these barriers that Latinos have to deal with prevents them from coming out as an LGBTQ+ member because Latinos fear that they wont be accepted by their family due to culture.

Latino family 's tend to feel strongly about tradition, culture and religion which makes LGBTQ latinos less open to showing their true identity to their families.…

    Being Hispanic to me means that I was naturally born blessed, but also cursed. I was born blessed because I was able to raised by parents who had an endless work ethic. They stopped at nothing from trying to keep food on the table and clothes on our backs. I remember growing up, both of my parents working endless hours of hard labour with minimal pay just to have enough for our family to survive. Even though we were struggling most of the time, my parents always woke me every morning to the same speech, "Son, I want you to succeed in life, I want you stay in school and earn a college degree so you will not have to struggle like us in the future.…

    Some believe that inner city residents of Hispanic communities are subjected to racial profiling because of theories such as the “gang suppression model”. The “gang suppression model” is believed by some to be the basis for increased policing, the theory being based on the idea that Latinos are violent and out of control and are therefore “in need of suppression”. Based on research, the criminalization of a people can lead to abuses of power on behalf of law enforcement. She goes on to state that immigration raids are often conducted with a disregard for due process, and that these raids lead people from these communities to distrust law enforcement. The national government has passed laws, such as the Patriot Act of 2001, to increase surveillance…

    The anti-immigration legislation favored by many state governments and lawmakers does indeed target ethnic minorities in an attempt to curb illegal immigration and be able to deliver a sense of security. The issue of inequality comes in to play when Latino’s who may be here legally are treated differently and denied the rights that normal Americans would have. Along with being racial profiled, Latinos who are undocumented are forbidden from conducting business with the State and Local Government. Some argue that this potentially denies them access from acquiring public services such as water and electricity. Business and Agriculture groups argue that migrant workers take the jobs that most Americans do not wish to take.…
