City Human Relations Commission to Hear Results of Study on Local Latino Community
The League of Women Voters of Anne Arundel County will present the results of a study which it conducted about the local Latino community at a meeting of the Annapolis Human Relations Commission on Monday, June 1 at 6:30 p.m. at the Eastport Fire Station on Bay Ridge Avenue in Annapolis.
The public is invited to attend.
Members of the Immigration Study Committee of the League will report their findings on several questions, including:
· How large is the immigrant population in the county?
· What are the cultural values and traditions of this group?
· How many immigrants are undocumented?
· Are illegal immigrants receiving free education, health care, food stamps and other social services?
· What impact are immigrants having on local employment and are they taking jobs from native citizens?
· Do immigrants pay taxes?
· What effect are immigrants having on crime locally?
A question-and-answer session will follow the presentation. The Annapolis Human Relations Commission is a City board that works to promote equal opportunity and to eliminate discrimination.
