ha, the southerners are nothing compared to people from the NE. Many think they "know it all" because they were born in NYC or in New Jersey.

Define uneducated. Not every immigrant without a college degree in Miami is a low life and a leech. Many are hard working people.

This country was built by immigrants and many came with little or no resources. There is no need to put down people because of their education level.

Anyway, Miami still remains the city with higher % of affluent hispanics.

...because it has the highest % of Hispanics in any US city, so that stands to reason.

Lack of ethics , morals , values and civics .. that is uneducated in my book ... you can have five college degrees and be a white collar low life criminal .. Anglo , Asian , Black or Hispanic it does not matter ... you did not understand my post ... thanks for the history lesson .. yes I know this country was built by immigrants ... you would have to be living in a cave not to know that ... I stand by my comment just as any other ethnicity , race or nationality Hispanics have both wonderful people and low lifes as well ... define uneducated = ok spend ten minutes at the Calle Ocho festival or at the Westland Mall in Hialeah then talk to me .. I have met high powered , honest wonderful hispanic professionals that excel in what they do .. yes some in Miami .... but more so in Chile , Uruguay , Mexico , Panama , Colombia or Argentina .. again you did not read my post properly ... not taking shots at Hispanics .. I am married to one as is one of my sisters .

Also you seem to believe that affluence equates to class , ethics or education .. it does not .

Rock,

This issue really has nothing to do with race anyway. I encountered many people in Miami who were lacking in the education, ethics and moral standards departments. These were people of all races too; Miami just seems to attract such people.

If it could clean up its act in that regard, it wouldn't be a bad place to live. The Medicare fraud certainly needs to be stopped as that particular "Miami problem" is coding the rest of us US taxpayers bilions of dollars.

Having a piece of paper from an overpriced "educational" institution with regional accreditation is not the only way to be educated, in my opinion. In south Florida, an area with no energy resources, or any other industrial capacity the best way to wealth is fraud/drugs. Thus many of those with money are low lifes. Only Government jobs or multinational companies will pay a decent wage of offer benefits.

So very true ... you make good posts when you are not ranting !!

Miami also has a large ghetto influence among its Hispanic , Black and even the few remaining Anglo youth .. that I just cannot stand .. too many thug and gangsta wannbees .... I dod not recall seeing that much ghetto influence in LA or NYC .. and I have lived in both . You also just do not see that in Argentina , Chile , Costa Rica . Brazil , Colombia or even Mexico among similar middle class youth ... I have to travel to San Juan , Puerto Rico tomorrow morning which is Daddy Yankee , plucked eyebrow central and even the people there are less ghetto than in much of Miami !!!

And what is our definition of ghetto? Listening to regeton? Having plucked eyebrows? So East NY, California gangs and Appalacha junkies are educated?

Every large city has problems. They all have high poverty and youth who act in unconventional ways. It's part of being young. Its like that Billy Joel song, neither Daddy Yankee or Pitbull start the fire.

Rock, I spend enough time in Hialeah. While Im not a huge fan of East Hialeah(the oldest part of Hialeah where most young hispanics are US born) I admit there are plenty of regular decent people there

West Hialeah to me(where Wesland mall is) is OK. I always receive good customer service there. I never had an isue with anybody there and I go there at least 3 times a month.
