Kelly, very well documented. Would love to talk w you about the highly successful Hispanic infrastructure for home ownership and entrepreneurship in Ontario, California. They developed credit sources, policed their neighborhood (driving out gangs w the help of law enforcement) and provided code enforcement. The workforce was sought by employers and they eventually embraced our workforce training programs. Absolutely loved and respected this community.

I would love to talk with you about that. I noted that homeownership rates among Hispanics in California are noticeably lower (36%) than in Texas (55%), I presume because of high housing costs generally in CA. I want to do a deeper dive into politics, economics, and demographics among Mexican Americans, most of whom are in CA and TX.
