I am a hispanic. No,I am not a criminal;nor am I resurrection. I am a unique. No,I am not a ruthless human being. I am not a second choice;nor am I afraid to stand alone. I am happiness,kindness,and passionate. I am strong because I know my weakness. I am not obsessive nor I am not who I was. I’m not rude,I’m honest. I just speak what’s on my mind,even if most can’t handle the truth. Sometimes,I’m not angry,I’m hurt,and there is a big difference. I am who I am and no one could change that. I am not who I was before;nor I’m not like others. I am fearless because I learn to recognize illusion from real-I am wise and a dreamer. …show more content…

    Latino Migration

    The use of identifiers like “Hispanic” or “Latino” has been loosely used by governmental agencies in the United States, in hopes to capture a proper census on populations of Spanish and Latin decent.

Differences within the Hispanic and Latino group seem to stem from the level of acculturation determined by domestic birth and that from abroad. Immigration plays an important role on shaping…
