Trumps,Administration Won't have one Hispanic

I guess Trump really doesn't care for Latinos

Trump Cabinet will be the first in decades without a Hispanic member

WASHINGTON — Donald Trump's Cabinet is poised to become the first since 1988 without any Hispanic officials — sparking rebukes from members of the nation's second-largest ethnic group — as Trump tapped former Georgia Gov. Sonny Perdue for agriculture secretary.
Two Hispanic Texans were under consideration for the post: former U.S. Rep. Henry Bonilla, a San Antonio Republican, and Elsa Murano, a former Texas A&M president and former undersecretary for food safety. Trump announced his choice of Perdue Thursday morning.
"We're extremely worried. This is anti-democratic," Hector Sanchez, chairman of the National Hispanic Leadership Agenda, an umbrella group of 40 advocacy organizations, asserting that Trump is undoing decades of progress toward more inclusion.
Ronald Reagan named the first Latino to the Cabinet in 1988 when he picked Texas Democrat Lauro Cavazos for education secretary. Cavazos, a former Texas Tech president, stayed on under George Bush. Every president since, from both parties, has had at least one Hispanic in the Cabinet at all times.
"Trump has not only been the most anti-Latino, anti-immigrant president in the history of the nation. By not including Latinos in the Cabinet he is just showing how he is planning to govern," Sanchez said, noting that Latinos now account for 17 percent of the U.S. population.
"This is not about political correctness. It is about representative democracy," said Janet Murguía, president and CEO of National Council of La Raza.
