The Pew Hispanic Center has come out wit ha survey showing that Latinos, like every other fucking person, are kind of having a tough time in this economic climate. Surprise! Here are some of their super-shocking findings:

• 15 percent say that finding and keeping a job is difficult because they are Latino

• 81 percent say immigration enforcement should be done by the federal government, not local law enforcement.

• 76 percent disapprove of workplace raids and 70 percent disapprove of criminal prosecution for employers who hire undocumented workers.

• 10 percent say police and other authorities have stopped them and asked about their immigration status.

• The majority of Latinos worry about deportation, 57 percent.

Wait. What? 57 percent? That seems a little odd. Who are these Latinos? Did they, like, overwhelmingly survey illegal immigrants? Because of all the Latinos we’ve ever known, maybe two are at risk of being deported - and that’s taking into account we know Latinos in Miami, LA, New York and cities in Texas we can’t bother to remember. Sure, if you’re interviewing a huge chunk of Latinos who aren’t citizens, you’re going to get answers that show life is hard and times are tough, obviously, but that information might be a tad skewed when it comes to representing the concerns and interests of most American Latinos.

And if these Latinos who are surveyed — 66% of which were not registered to vote — cannot legally participate in the election, how do their concerns actually result in creating any sort of change?
