| The Aids and the HS drop out rates are all linked to poverty. The poor always suffer more.
Much of the Hispanic population come seeking the American dream, they start out in low paying jobs that force the families to live in poverty. US companies want the Hispanics to provide low cost labor; low cost labor basically means poverty level subsistence; which means Hispanics suffer from more health related problems and tend to end up with little/no real education - or future. The little/no education helps to ensure the US labor market with those willing to work for substance wages – and thus no real chance to obtain the American dream.
Until the US is able to realistically address the issue of poverty, and how those with limited skills/education can fit into our 21st century economy as equal members of society, we will continue to see folks suffer from the cycle of poverty.
