THE INTEGRATING VALUE OF HISPANICS
By Celemma Lara, Strategic Business Consultant
The migratory history of Hispanics in the United States has proven it, the vast majority of them since they put their feet on the ground in this country, their intention has been and continues to be, to work.
What the immigrant is looking for is an opportunity to offer his family, both the one who is here and the one in his native land, a more stable life with greater well-being, therefore, he is focused on working, producing and building, from a healthy passivity that allows you to achieve your goal in harmony.
This effort to achieve a better quality of life is materialized daily in hard, intelligent, qualified, constant and innovative work, which has allowed us to be an important productive force in this country.
The United States of America has been known for opening its doors to many immigrants, including Hispanics. It is true that throughout history there have been important debates, policy applications, discrimination and marginalized incomes, which have affected many people, but it is also true that, although there is still more to be done, the benefits and the benefitted have been many. To confirm this, you just have to review the statistics.
The Hispanic community has been noted, for its labor force, its talent, for being one of the communities with the greatest entrepreneurship, for the amount of taxes they generate, among others. This proves that one of our fundamental shared values, if not the main one, which can integrate us into a strong and solid community, is work.
The cultures that make up the Hispanic community are varied, so it is reasonable that there are differences within it, and there are also negative aspects of immigration, this has already been discussed at length. However, for some time now, the volume of similarities, factors and positive characteristics that unite us has risen.
Today we can objectively say that we have a factor of Hispanic identity, productivity based on the value of work.
This productive factor deserves not only recognition, but also empowerment in a society like the United States, which values markets, growth and productivity.
An adequate operationalization of this value will allow us to create a productive gear that unites us, and thus generate a capitalization of this social power in favor of the development of the country and a greater well-being of the Hispanic community.
