Yes, but there isn't a particularly perceptible difference between Hispanic (or even specifically Mexican) violent immigrant disenfranchisement vs. the violent expression of disenfranchisment seen in other non-Hisapanic/Mexican neighborhoods. Or, to put it another way, a dangerous ghetto is a dangerous ghetto, no matter the ethnic make-up here. Of course there's always some nuance, but their identity as foreigners, at least from my limited perspective, doesn't seem to be the defining cause of the situation you describe. It seems to be more triggered by the broader problems brought on by being economically depressed that are common to all people.
