Forty-nine Latino leaders signed an open letter released Friday honoring the memory of the Latino immigrant workers who died in the Baltimore bridge collapse last week, while also condemning the spread of 'a false narrative' undermining the contributions of the nation's Hispanic people. The letter coincides with President Joe Biden's visit to the site of the deadly Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse, where he met with some of the victims’ families.
Department of Justice, “recent research suggests that those who immigrate are not more likely, and may even be less likely to commit crime in the U.S.” At the site of the deadly bridge collapse in Baltimore, Biden said, 'eight construction workers went into the water when the bridge fell. Six lost their lives. Most were immigrants, but all were Marylanders — hard-working, strong, and selfless.' 'The damage is devastating, and our hearts are still breaking,' Biden added.
