I've fought in Congress for minority owned businesses for a long time. Carolina’s story proves that immigrant businesses are at the heart of our communities, creating jobs & growing our economy. Congrats to Carolina on your new restaurant in Bushwick!

The same woman discriminating against my business, and leaving me a debt while part of my interest helps offset the grants. All the while ignoring minorities outside of low income areas. Spare me.
