Federally Sponsored Mexican Migrants
I thought It was really interesting about how the latino population was ever growing in North Carolina. The static that says, "In North Carolina the migrant population doubled between 1990 and 1997" really supports this fact. I am from Durham, NC. I live in what is known as "the triangle" which is three cities: Raleigh, Durham and Chapel Hill. The amount of Mexican Immigrants living in the triangle is astounding. There are a lot of jobs in the area and the cost of living (especially slightly outside the triangle) is relatively low. Because of the high amount of mexican immigrants in the area a new "business" has opened in the triangle. there are now countless mexican grocery stores, authentic mexican restaurants and other services directly marketed to the Mexican population. There is a public elementary school near my house that has a majority of latino children. I think the influx of mexican people in my area is a really great thing! It provides a lot more diversity and new things to learn or try!
