From the NY Times:About 43 percent of all Mexican immigrant households are overcrowded, compared with an average of 15 percent of all immigrant households and 9 percent of households in the general population, according to the report, titled “Housing the City of Immigrants.” The study also finds that about 35 percent of Mexican households spend more than half their income on rent, compared with 26 percent of all immigrant households and 24 percent of all households combined.
The report suggests that the relatively poor housing experience of many Mexicans is a function in part of the population’s newness to New York and their low income levels.
Those immigrant groups that have been in the city for a longer period of time tend to have better access to subsidized and public housing, the report said. In addition, Mexicans, particularly men who have immigrated alone to the United States for work, will crowd apartments to save money, especially if they live in neighborhoods where affordable housing is scarce, scholars say.
Among its other intriguing observations, the report noted that while home ownership rose from one generation to the next — to 44 percent of all second-generation immigrant households from 31 percent of first-generation households — the increase was even sharper among low-income immigrants, rising to 34 percent among second-generation households from 17 percent among first-generation households.
While the authors did not suggest a reason for this difference, David Dyssegaard Kallick, director of the Immigration Research Initiative at the Fiscal Policy Institute, said it could partly reflect the fact that some low-income immigrants were “pushed prematurely into home ownership by predatory lending.”

Nuff said.
Ahh..these f*ckers are breaking the law to begin with by illegally crossing OUR borders and we're supposed to feel sorry for them?? DEPORT them and start shooting them at the border. They'll get the message soon enough.
"DEPORT them and start shooting them at the border."
Oh brother..you are really a credit to to your borough.
Madre di Dios!
Tsk, tsk, tsk...too bad.
Finding hard times in USA?
Then swim back home!

WELCOME TO AMERICA MEXICANS - DID YOU THINK HOUSING WAS FREE TOO? MAYBE YOU SHOULD BUY CONDOMS LIKE OTHER FOLKS TO CUT DOWN ON HOUSING SPACE YOU WILL NEED FOR 5 KIDS FROM 3 GIRLFRIENDS!

WE ALL START THIS WAY - EXCEPT EVERYONE LEARNS SOME ENGLISH TO MOVE UP. WE ARE AN ENGLISH SPEAKING COUNTRY WHOM IS LOOKING TO CUT COSTS AND ELIMINATE TRANSLATING AND SPENDING MONEY ON PEOPLE WHO ARE TOO UNEDUCATED OR LAME THAT ARRIVE ON ARE SHORES LOOKING TO BE PAMPERED AND EMBRACED FOR BEING MEXICAN.
Funny how we see report after report on the tweeded justifying our money to be dumped into their world.
After all they came here. They brought a lot of problems on themselves. Its not my concern that their elites in their native coontries are dickheads that make their lives miserable.
But they should be doing studies on innocent Americans citizens and taxpayers whose lives are disrupted by this.
Anyone want to do a study on how taxpayers monies are diverted into developer pockets and tweeder programs?
Anyone want to do a study on what human warehouses or lines of grim day laborers do to property values and quality of life?
Anyone want to do a study on the impact that a 10 story hotel has on their back yard?
eh?

You see this and people say we cannot discuss immigration issues because there are racists who say this stuff. (But its perfectly ok to discuss this for the proimmigrant lobby that may have ulterior motives to favor immigrantion .... because it gives them a chance to make money off the unfortunate plight of others.)
Besides, stuff like this could as much as not be posted by hacks knowing that this language is used to shut down any discussion of the issue - which is their intent by posting this in the first place.
What is "affordable" housing?
The authors speculated that low-income Europeans “may be paying a premium in order to live close to the higher-income members of their group.”
The authors are a bunch of politically correct dolts!
The simplest explanation is that "low-income Europeans" are paying a premium so that they don't have to expose themselves and their children to the low IQ Mexicans.
Most Mexicans are illegals, and inevitably have little or not at all education. Since in any country of the world individuals without any degree do not get high pays why should we wonder of their situation since no education, and no legal documentation? Furthermore, I do not understand why we keep talking only about Latinos, there are other immigrants Legal in NY and with education. They too pay a lot for their rent not to mention the state and etc. taxes which go in the pocket of illegal immigrants..
Future news headline; Meteor to destroy earth. Minorities to be affected the hardest.
I am a full-time assistant professor in a private college in Manhattan. I make 3500 net per month. The other half of my salary goes on federal, state and city taxes. I cannot even dream to a rent a studio in Manhattan and I am far from living in a decent spot in Queens. Not a chance to buy an apartment in the near future! I know many professors in my situation. NY Times has time and money for illegal immigrants? This is outrageous!
"Chica, chica, chica"!
Are those the guys dropping those "business cards" all over my street?
"Remember the Alamo"!
I'll gladly supply some big thirsty towels to dry off their backs if they head back to Mexico!
Spike the water with birth control then deport all these criminals before they take the whole country down and torch out citys
9 out of 10 are feral baby makers that can not be domesticated nor control themselves
I propose using the army and miles of railroad cars straight to the Mexican border before Americans are outnumbered

Correct right on the money. I lost my Polish tenants in Ridgewood. They hocked everything they had to move to New Hyde Park.
The Mexican boys were dry humping the 13 year old blond daughter in the school. Teachers simply turned a blind eye to it...did nothing till the boys had their hands down her pants in the girls bathroom.
...Savages all of them, I'm convinced its in the DNA and cant be changed. These primitive people cant be educated or domesticated for perhaps another 1000 years.
Its not racist its fact these people are just above wild animals. The sheeple just don't want to hear it
Joe, you're right. It's not "racist" at all.
It's sociological analysis and commentary.
And a dollop of common sense.
Hit Bushwick or Ridgewood on May 5th when 1 million drunk and out of control Mextizos show the least respect and consideration for this country and it citizens.
Fool trespassers who say f@#k you their neighbors. There is a reason for a police officer to be placed on every corner.
Same thing with Puerto Rican day in June
Why doesn't the PC whores at the NY Times or Daily news ever cover two of the worst day's of the year in New York City ?
that's tough. my family went through that when they first arrived in this country many generations ago. unfortunate to say, but we all kinda pay our dues here.
