一项新的调查发现，在美国以外出生的拉美裔人比在美国出生的拉美裔人对2010年美国人口普查有更积极的看法。
独立的皮尤研究中心的拉美裔中心说，在美国以外出生的拉美裔人中80%的受访者说，人口普查对拉美裔社区有好处，而在美国出生的拉美裔人中只有57%的人持相同看法。
这项皮尤调查还发现，拉美裔移民比在美国出生的拉美裔人更有可能了解，人口普查不能被用来决定某人是否是非法移民。根据调查，拉美裔移民还更可能相信美国人口普查局会遵照法律对他们的个人信息保密。
A new survey has found that Hispanics born outside of the United States have a more positive view of the 2010 U.S. Census than Hispanics born in the U.S.
The Pew Hispanic Center, part of the independent Pew Research Center said 80 percent of Hispanics born outside the U.S. told the survey the census is good for the Hispanic community, compared to just 57 percent of Hispanics born in the United States.
The Pew survey also found that Hispanic immigrants are more likely than U.S.-born Hispanics to know the census cannot be used to determine whether someone is in the U.S. illegally. According to the survey, Hispanic immigrants are also more likely to trust the U.S. Census Bureau to keep their personal information confidential as required by law.
