The American Dream promises a number of things, one of those things being a home …accented with an optional white picket fence. However, less than half of Hispanics in America have been able to seize that portion of the “Dream,” due greatly to the fact that minorities are more likely to be denied loans and they are less likely to apply for conventional mortgages for the same reason.

Romeo and Juliet, and Tristan and Isolde are accessible (fictional) examples that may come to mind, but the history books –and succeeding web pages– are lush with examples of Latin couples who’ve affected history by being revolutionary, dynamic, passionate, and/or the talk-of-the-time.

St. Louis, Missouri is yet another example of a city that struggles with the “recruitment and retention of human capital.” St. Louis has a small immigrant population compared to other metro areas of similar size, and that absence explains a lack of economic expansion and growth.
Leaders, local and regional, have examined countless strategies in an attempt to devise a plan to restart the economic and population growth. The “Global Detroit” initiative emerged as a resolution.
“Latinos are taking all of our jobs” is a statement that’s been disproven time-and-time again, but indisputable evidence that the contrary is true comes in the form of proof that immigrants are keen entrepreneurs, actually offering more jobs to the American job market, helping to enhance the local and national economy.
