Gee, what could go wrong with this situation?
Census figures put the New Orleans metro region’s Hispanic population at roughly 60,000 pre-Katrina, said Martin Gutierrez, director of the Hispanic Apostolate of the Catholic Archdiocese of New Orleans, who believes at least 20,000 people went uncounted then.
The Apostolate estimates the number more than doubled, up to 150,000 Latinos following Katrina thanks to a surge of South and Central Americans who migrated to the area for rebuilding work.
