How does this happen in an American city with nearly 90,000 residents?
Welcome to Lawrence, Massachusetts!
The city in northern Massachusetts has gone from 60% Hispanic in 2000 to 82% Hispanic in 2020.
Mayor DaPena was born in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. He came to the United States, according to his website, in the early '80s.
More than 40 years later, he still struggles with English, showing no interest in assimilating to American culture or language.
