• Latinos Strive to Restorea Source of Comfort

It's part of the everyday routine of many Latino immigrants living in Passaic -- to pause for a moment at the outdoor shrine of the Virgin Mary. People in the city and from nearby towns in Passaic and Bergen counties might say a prayer while walking a child to school or light a candle as they rush to work. Important family events are celebrated by dropping off flowers or snapping pictures near the figure. For Mexicans especially, many of whom have made risky journeys across the Rio Grande to earn money for children and spouses they left behind, the familiar symbol of Mexico's patron saint -- the Virgin of Guadalupe -- reminds them that they are never alone, even though they are more than 2,000 miles away from loved ones.

Aristeo Torres can hardly keep the corn tortillas in stock. Or the pinto beans. Or the dried chilies. Since he opened his little grocery store at 1543 Central Ave. in Dubuque in February, Torres has been expanding his shopping list to keep up with the demand for Latino foods. He drives to Chicago every two weeks to buy supplies from an ethnic wholesaler.

• Immigration Is Top Issue at Latino Church; Many Plan to Join National Work Boycott and March in Milwaukee

Racine In any other given week, the dozen or Latinos who attended Cristo Rey Parish for Spanish Mass, fellowship and a chance to pray in the middle of a busy week would have been able to do just that. But as a national debate rages on about immigration and undocumented workers, and engrosses many in this nearly all-Latino parish, they can't avoid being caught up in it.

• Latinos and Homelessness

Many more stay. The construction industry, small businesses, and even agriculture have suffered considerable losses. This has affected Latinos as ithas everyone else. Before the current economic downturn, many Latino families were already living on the edge. Housing even in the best of times was already hard for Latino families. It is estimated that many Latinos spend up to 59 percent of their annual income on rent or mortgages. Nationally, 26 percent of all Latinos live in seriously overcrowded conditions. This rate compares to 8 percent for African Americans and 4 percent for non-Hispanic whites.
