How has the hispanic population had an impact on the town of willmar?

Latinos began to settle in the rural town of Wilmar during the off-season. This migration caused that the town's population of Latinos increased 750% from 1984 to 1994. The migrants began making Willmar home not only for employment opportunities but also because of the government services and according to Green, S. (1994) most of the migrants came directly from Texas.

It was then in the middle of the 80's that the employment market suffered a saturation, same decade that the latino-Chicano community was created (for example, they establish the "Amigos de Cristo" church, which created a cultural change in the town), however, the people belonging to this community were no longer able to find jobs.

an interest group is an organization whose members share common concerns, and try to influence government policies that impact those concerns. elected officials frequently complain about the influence of "special interests" on american politics.
