    Latinos have the lowest academic attainment score and is reflected in high school completion rates. Lewis and Burd-Sharps classify Latino adults born in the United States with an Education Index score of 4.20, and Latino adults immigrants have a minuscule score of 0.12 (Lewis and Burd-Sharps, 100). The drastic low score amongst Foreign-born Latinos who arrived in the United States can be the result of inadequate schooling they acquired in their homelands. Latinos and African Americans in California are disproportionately poor who have less access to resources for bettering their socioeconomic status.

    Just as the minority experience varies amongst minorities because of racial and cultural boundaries, there are similar experiential differences amongst Hispanic populations. I realize that focusing on a particular community is still generalizing, but it is an efficient way to get a broader, yet focused, perspective encompassing a community that would have otherwise been ignored in research that groups all minority experiences under the same umbrella. Border towns interest me because they are unique microcosms of what I like to call “Mexico in the United States”; their populations are typically homogeneously Hispanic, and Mexican language and culture is predominantly practiced. They are also an even further marginalized group within the Latino academic community, as conventional Latino work focuses on communities where Latinos are the literal minority of the population. In border town communities, however, Hispanics are the majority, making any person of anglo-background in these communities the “minority”.…
