The worst thing about the mess in the subprime industry is that it left in its wake millions of innocent American families without a home. It has long been established that one of the reasons for the foreclosure crisis involved hybrid mortgages. In Phoenix, a group of Hispanic real estate agents has decided to help their community by making sure that all local residents avoid these risky loan pack
Fifty-five percent of Hispanic voters, who constitute an important segment of the US electorate, prefer Democrat presidential hopeful Barack Obama to his Republican rival John McCain, EFE news agency reported Saturday quoting a new poll.

I just drove 93.6 hot and fast miles through hellish sun-blasted terrain on US Route 491, in the heart of New Mexico’s Navajo country. A mere two lane highway blessed with ample desert visibility, the speed limit is set for a very liberal 65 mph. (but 75 to 80 is the norm). The harsh surrounding [...]

I admit to having been apprehensive, but now that McCain's reached out to me, I can grab hold.
I like that he wants to talk to all Americans- however they want to distinguish themselves -unless they're totally repulsive like the KKK or Reverend Wright or William Ayers. La Raza is "The Race," but I don't think they take the implications of their name seriously. Half of them are probably married to non-Hispanics.
Anyways, he's checked off blacks, "hillbillies," conservatives, evangelicals, military. I'm not "pro" gay, but he should go there next and talk about his differences with their agenda. He could pick up a more flattering suit while he's at it. Hmmm, after that? How about gamers and role-players? We're pretty ignored (especially by girls). Well, until somebody needs technical sup
(HealthDay News) -- Hispanic Americans with even a small amount of plaque build-up in their carotid artery -- the vessel that supplies blood to the brain -- are up to four times more likely to suffer or die from a stroke compared to those with clear arteries, a new study finds."These results are important for developing stroke and vascular prevention programs for all, but also for certain ethnic g
Latina caramel bellas listen up. According to a new study conducted by Oregon State University, the more Hispanic immigrants adopt American culture, the more likely they are to use illegal drugs and abuse alcohol.
Researchers found that “7.2 percent of acculturated Hispanics reported using illegal drugs within the previous month, compared to less than one percent of non-acculturated Hispanics and 6.4 percent of whites.” More than 6,700 adults, including 1,690 Hispanics, were a part of the research.
The study also mentions that “acculturated Hispanics were nearly twice as likely as non-acculturated Hispanics to report current binge drinking and more than three times more likely to report “bender” drinking — consuming alcohol continuously for days in a row without sobering up.”
This is very sobering news (yes, pun intended). Most immigrants that move to the U.S. look forward to American benefits such as wealth and better jobs, but d
As much as I rant and rave about illegal immigrants I dont think that they are dumb people. They obviously have the common sense to leave their third world sewer pit home to immigrate to America. In addition, coming into America they often have to live in the poorest parts of any given city. Moreover, what do they see there? They see other races that have been the recipients of the Democrats largesse for the past 40 or so years. They can put 2 + 2 together. So, on the one hand the Democrats are offering them the keys to the kingdom but with many strings attached. Its inevitable that a certain percentage would be able to see the truth around them. The class warfare and constant propaganda of the left is a hard hill to climb. But some seem to be doing just that to see past the propaganda and lies. Today they are registering as Independents but I bet you they will be voting conservative. Look at the Cubans that live in south Florida. They have seen first hand the devastating effects o
(Oradell, NJ) Hispanic Enterprise magazine has named Huntington Learning Center one of the nation’s Top 25 Franchises for Hispanics in the U.S. The magazine developed its rankings based on several factors, including the number of senior managers at the franchises who are Hispanic, and on indications that the companies invest ample resources for recruiting and supporting Hispanic franchisees.
"The satisfaction and success of all Huntington franchisees has always been important to us, and it’s especially gratifying to know that our efforts to expand opportunity for the nation’s rapidly growing group of Hispanic entrepreneurs are being recognized," said Dr. Raymond J. Huntington, who co-founded Huntington Learning Center with his wife, Eileen Huntington, in 1977. "These franchisees are vital partners in our effort to support educational achievement and ensure that more students have the personalized attention they deserve."

So I am searching for some graphics for the blog and run across the website www.democrats.org and what is the first page I see? It is an attack piece against Mitt Romney in, get this, Mexican as well as English but with it in Mexican first and English at the bottom of the page. Wow, just wow. What incredible suck ups. ~RJH So I guess this means the Democrats will have one more special interest group to pander to. I sometimes wonder if the Democrat candidates get schizophrenic from trying to be so many things to so many groups of people. Like the time Hillary was faking a deep southern drawl. Recently the mayor of Los Angeles Antonio Villaraigosa spoke to the crowd in Mexican rather than English. We call him Mayor Reconquista for obvious reasons. Pandering to the Latino vote is no real shock. The Democrats get people all fired up over bringing another few million illegals in and yeah suddenly they have made their own voting block. California is one of the states that is moving it
MSNBC has a story announcing what most Latinos already know, the majority of Hispanics son catolicos. What's a little more surprising at least to me is that most evangelical Hispanics are almost split evenly in their political preferences. Republican evangelicals slightly outnumbering the democrats in their faith. The democrats though have an huge edge in the catholic faith."U.S. Hispanics view religious and political life as intertwined, often worship in ethnic congregations and embrace a spirit-filled, charismatic style of Christianity, a new survey says. The trends cross Roman Catholic and Protestant lines and signal significant shifts in the U.S. religious landscape, considering the explosive growth of the Hispanic population, according to the survey released Wednesday by the Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life and the Pew Hispanic Center. When it comes to political loyalties, religion trumps ethnicity: Hispanic Catholics, who make up two-thirds of the Hispanic population, are
The National Education Association released a report on the status of Hispanics in education today. Some of its key findings include:
• The high school and college completion rates among Hispanics, though up from 1970 and 2004, still lag far behind the completion rates of whites.
• Hispanic student scores in the National Assessment of Educational Progress between 1990 and 2005 improved in math and reading, but not enough to close the large achievement gap. Notably, less than half of Hispanic fourth-graders have achieved a basic level of reading performance on the test.
To make up ground, the group offers some recommendations. These include reducing class sizes; creating new classroom strategies to engage Hispanic students, and enhancing teacher preparation and professional development to better understand the culture of Hispanic students and to help students master English. The group also calls for better relationships between parents, the community and
RIO BEAUTY COMES TO RODEO DRIVEMore Hispanics are Opting for Cosmetic SurgeryIn 2004, Hispanics led minority racial and ethnic groups undergoing cosmetic procedures (8.5% of all procedures performed, up from 6% in 2000), according to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery.More Hispanic women are seeking plastic surgery nationwide, and at Rodeo Drive Plastic Surgery we've found that over 30% of our patients are Hispanic men and women. The majority of our patients who ask for the "The Rodeo Drive Mommy Makeover" here in Los Angeles are Hispanic women in their 20's and 30's. The "Mommy Makeover" consists of a tummy tuck, breast lift and frequently a small breast implant. Breast augmentations are in high demand among young Hispanic women, either as a single procedure or as part of the "Mommy Makeover." Hispanic women and men who opt for rhinoplasty are concerned with keeping their ethnic identity, so our procedures procedure enhance the face but do not erase ethnic origins.
I’ve seen many corporate marketing efforts to communicate with the Hispanic population in the USA. A few years ago, I opened the Houston Chronicle one morning just to find that part of the sport’s section was in Spanish. It was not surprising that given the size of the Latino population in Houston, they wanted to [...]
