Access HEREIn 2006, Hazleton, Pa., became the center of the national debate about illegal immigration. Faced with an influx of immigrants, many of them from Mexico, it was the first city to pass local ordinances that banned hiring or renting to unauthorized immigrants. Although the courts eventually struck down the ordinances, Hazleton’s city council had accurately captured the fears that many Americans had about the wave of unauthorized immigration then coming from south of the border, fears that still echo in this year’s election campaigns.
Access HEREWe are business leaders and we are here to tell you a surprising truth: Latinos are big drivers of economic growth.

Access HERENPR’s Audie Cornish speaks with former government official Henry Cisneros and businessman Sol Trujillo, co-founders of the nonprofit Latino Donor Collaborative, which works to reshape the public’s image of Latinos.
Access HEREEconomic uncertainty and our unsettled politics lead the news today, but the most consequential business story is the one not told. It is the good news story of a group of Americans – Latinos – who have been quietly and increasingly powering U.S. economic growth, both as job creators and as consumers. As the U.S. population ages, and as we struggle against the headwinds of an anemic global economy, U.S. Latinos are forming the core of America’s New Mainstream Economy. A handful of simple facts tell the story.
Access HEREFour words have echoed through Trump campaign rallies and TV interviews these past many months: “Make America Great Again.” And clearly they’ve resonated with millions of voters. Putting aside the question of whether the slogan itself is a false narrative (“America is great already”)—or merely empty, jingoistic blather—it’s worth a moment to imagine how Trump might accomplish that goal. To ask: How can the U.S. compete and win in the world over the next decade?

Access HERELast week in Washington DC, Gil and Jacki Cisneros cut the ribbon on the Cisneros Hispanic Leadership Institute, a beautiful building in the middle of George Washington University! This Center was created by the university with the Cisneros’ generous $7 million donation last summer, with the goal of empowering Latino high-achieving students. Click here to view the article. I was honored to be present at the ceremony and at the special luncheon at the home of George Washington U. President Steven Knapp and his lovely wife.

Congratulations Gil!
