Of course, the Hispanics are working the registers, stocking the shelves and sweeping the floors. Integration, Liberal-style.

To a certain extent, that's income problem. Even if you swapped the Hispanic immigrants for whites, the incomes that those jobs pay just simply aren't enough to permit them to live in majority white neighbourhoods composed of single family houses. And even if we pay the Latino immigrants (or poor blacks or poor whites) $100K per year to work at Fairway, that doesn't mean that they would immediately want to live in that type of neighbourhood. I'm in the South Shore in a Zone 7 area, and I've had family members say that they prefer the old neighbourhood where they can play their music low and nobody will bother them for it, or they simply prefer to live in equivalent majority black areas because they don't like white people. They like the house, but they don't like the neighbours, and the dynamics of who lives where are not as clear cut as one may think.
