Poverty Among Hispanics (Social awarness 3)

This is based on the video from http://www.democracynow.org/2011/9/29/headlines/study_hispanic_children_largest_group_living_in_poverty


          This video is about how the number of hispanics under poverty have increased dramatically throughout the years. Immigrants have little chance of getting a job since they are illegal. This is why 6.1 million hispanics children are poor since their parents can't find jobs. Most immigrants that get jobs have jobs that are dangerous like construction working.
          Before, poverty rates were 35% hispanics, 39% african-american and 12% white. These were percentages from 2009-2010. The current percentages aren't yet calculated. I can see many hispancs are poor because some have a lot of family members living in one apartment.
          I have seen many people that have no homes, but now it has dramatically increased because I have seen more ad more people living in streets. Earning a job is hard these days since tons of people are applying for that same job.
