COMMENTS: Recession Spreads to Mexico, Guatemala
The first two parts of NBC's series We the People on Latinos in the United States concerned the growth of the native-born Hispanic population. Lee Cowan told us about the Latino babyboom in "smaller metropolitan areas that had virtually no Hispanic population say 20 years ago." Carl Quintanilla told us that 20% of all children in this country are Hispanic and so the Boy Scouts of America is adapting with a six-city bilingual recruiting drive. Now Mark Potter turns to immigrants from Mexico and Central America. "They had made a promise to their families back home to work hard and support them" but the recession has forced 73%, according to Pew Center research, to send back smaller remittances.
