RSSCity Spotlight: Houston, Texas – A Glimpse of the Diversity
Carolyn Hileman - The Voice* | February 29, 2008
“Among those who work in professional jobs, you don’t hear much talk of job competition. But among those in unskilled labor-related jobs, you hear complaints about the number of Hispanics and how the availability of cheap labor drives down wages,” Green said. Another perception, he added, is that Hispanics take the jobs that other people of color don’t want. “You don’t see as many black cooks or bus boys as you did a few years ago. That’s true in other parts of the country as well.” Kleinberg says most of the immigrants who arrive in Texas come through family reunification and are in the country legally, but a large number are here illegally. “We do not allow enough immigrants to come into this country and do the jobs that we need to have done,” Kleinberg said.
