The CIA Is On The Hunt For Latinos

Finally, the tide is turning in our favor. The United States Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) has finally realized the potential of the Latino community and is willing to place their faith on the more than fifty million people that this promising community harbors.

This is of major importance because the Hispanic community has long gone unrepresented in the CIA ranks, especially “in the highest steps of the ladder”, according to a report published on El Clarin.

During the agency’s 2015 internal study, they concluded that minorities represented less than 24% of the whole workforce, with only 10.8% of minorities working the higher levels, of which Latinos only represented 2.5%, a scandalous statistic that CIA director John Brennan has pledged to fix. Describing himself as the son of a “humble Irish Immigrant”, the director launched this campaign to “optimize diversity” within the Agency, with the goal of facilitating secret missions where minorities would go largely unnoticed as opposed to their white peers.

Now, two years after the study, and making the most out of our Hispanic Heritage Month, the CIA launched its campaign to recruit Latino workforce, through its Hispanic Advisory Council, and even quoted Martin Luther King Jr. in their opening statement, “We may have all come on different ships, but we’re in the same boat now.”

The CIA is now committed to “defend the aspirations of Latino employees within the espionage service and promote ties with Hispanic groups to drive the recruitment of new values.” This, of course, will not be an easy task, to this day, many Latinos view the CIA like “another American security force”, and many prefer to look for employment elsewhere, but with things being how they are, Latinos are expected “to get over it” quick, and not because the offer is for a limited time only, but because jobs (especially for Latinos) are becoming more scarce with each day that goes by, so a CIA government job, sounds a thousand times better than unemployment.
