A resource center for Latinos will open in York City in September. Councilman Rivera said the center is meant to be a place immigrants can call 'home.'
Due to a number of factors, including cultural differences, sampling complications and language barriers, surveying the Latino community can be quite the challenge, according to a Pew Research Center report published Nov. 12.
The language barriers that Spanish-speaking Latino immigrants face whenever they enter a school hospital or courtroom, particularly in the South, is concerning. Very often, there are no interpreters present to answer questions or to respond when these individuals need to communicate with a teacher, a doctor or a judge, leaving them vulnerable and at the mercy of those individuals with whom they need to communicate. Nonetheless, things may be changing in one small city in Chatham County, Georgia.
