Hispanics new to U.S. more likely to return census forms than those who are native born, survey shows - washingtonpost.com: Recent Hispanic immigrants are more likely to return their census questionnaires than Hispanics born in the United States, according to a new study that suggests a census campaign targeting Spanish speakers has been wildly successful.
A telephone survey of about 1,000 people conducted in the third week of March by the Pew Hispanic Center also found that foreign-born Hispanics are less skeptical that their census information will remain confidential.
Major Hispanic organizations have said there is widespread fear that census data will be shared with immigration authorities, and they have stressed the confidentiality of the census in a campaign called 'Ya es hora. Hagase contar!' or 'It's time to be counted.'
