As Metzler and Off (2018) point out, the Hispanic population in North Carolina is changing the geography of one of the state’s most important cities and surrounding county—Charlotte: “North Carolina’s Hispanic population has grown faster [in Mecklenburg County] since 2010 than both the white and the black population, according to recently released Census data estimates.” Metzler and Off (2018) report on this finding in The Charlotte Observer in an article published June 25th, 2018.

More and more services and signs will be presented in Spanish, from shopping signs and advertisements to jobs seeking workers.

This population is also changing how these areas vote—so there is a political aspect to the migrant movement as well that will impact elections at both the local and the national levels. The socio-political impact of these migrant population is important to consider because it affects policy decisions made by leaders at all levels of public service. As the socio-political geography changes, so too does the manner…

These measures included laws, which denied services to undocumented residents, alerted police to assume ICE functions, penalized for employers who hired the aliens, and made English the official language.
