Many Hispanic supervisors in factories only have high school education and do not value higher education. Some fire those with college degrees out of insecurity. Many migrant children follow the same path without aspirations for college. However, some parents inspire their children to aim higher. Education improves language, manners, and opens doors to better jobs. It would be valuable for more Hispanics to pursue college degrees to occupy leadership positions and defend migrants—and even have a Hispanic U.S. president one day.
