But there are millions of worries from Latinos and other immigrants or foreigners, even if they have become citizens. Latinos are "maliciosos" and that Spanish word means that they suspect bad intentions of those that approach with sugar coated words of "We will not use the census data to persecute you or to arrest you and deport latinos to their countries of origin"

With so much Hate in the air, some people won't want to give information, even if the Government Official speaks Spanish, looks racially similar, and swears that the data won't be used for deportations.

With thousands of people in NeoGulags, credibility will be at the lowest peak, and "Malicia" ( Unbelief, Suspicion, Negativity ) will be at the highest.

"Malicia" also means distrust, mistrust and suspecting bad intentions of the other person, the "malicioso" suspects that he is a victim and that he is lied by another shrewd person.

During the Administration of Herbert Hoover in 1929 hundreds of thousands of Latinos ( even citizens ) were deported out of the USA, some put the figure over a million, and that meant impoverishment, dislodgement and dispossession, a true Progrom. Many of the "Deportados" did not know how to speak Spanish and perceived Mexico as very foreign to them. They felt like "strangers in a strange land", some struggled for years to return to America.

The Memories of the "Deportados" linger in the communities.

Recent Immigrants have no big roots in a place, so you can not argue that he should give information to benefit the place or the local community, specially if the local place is hostile and unfriendly, or if the community has not helped the immigrant person.

After all that has happened, Latinos and others have seen the Racism and the Violence.
