Not just Latinos. Africans, Asians, Muslims, etc.
Ethnic communities tend to have tight knit relationships.
Once one member learns a scam, it is then quickly disseminated throughout the community.
I know this to be true. When you have a string of 5 legal names-ie: Maria Jacinta Rodriguez Zelaya de la Fuentes you can have legal identification in several combinations.Then there’s the illegal identification available if you know where to go. All the Hispanics in my neighborhood drive brand new cars( couple of shiny Hummers!) and load up Uhaul trailers to supply Mexico. It’s a helluva system that benefits them while legal citizens slog to pay for their freebies.
