Carrboro Board of Aldermen candidates are carving out ideas for how to cater to the town’s dense and growing immigrant population.
At least 12.3 percent of the town is of Latino or Hispanic descent, compared to 5.6 percent in Orange County, according to El Centro Latino. And the refugee population continues to grow drastically.
Ilana Dubester, interim director at El Centro Latino, said Carrboro’s government should include more bilingual public officials.
She also said immigrants tend to lack work, language services and access to affordable health care.
