I 've always wondered where are the affluent hispanic comminities? I never seen a hispanic riding in a benz and kind of bothers me..Time for hispanics to start building wealth where are they already doing this? Everybody always complaining of immigrants and illegals but where are they doing good?
I know Hispanic people in the LA area who are doing extremely well. They live in the same neighborhoods where all the other rich people live.
That said, I read something awhile ago about someone (media mogul? can't remember...) who still lives in Boyle Heights (neighborhood of LA, not where most rich people live) because the couple felt it important to support the community.

Well first you wont find many if any illegal wealthy people.
Second you have never been to Miami or LA have you. Miami has many wealthy hispanics. Well I would even say the majority of wealthy people in Miami driving G500s and A8s are hispanic. legal immigrants and residents tend to do much better financially than illegals for obvious reasons.
Also I think this nation is separated more by class than race. Whealthy hispanics will live with and be friends with wealthy jews, americans, asians etc... There are plenty of wealthy hispanics out there.
Miami is mostly Hispanic across it's wealthier and poorer sides alike. Also, suburban Broward County, Florida, especially Weston. Also unlike Miami, there actually isn't a significant population of Hispanics that are less than middle class.
