What does one do with a degree in “Chicano Studies”?
Does she go back home and improve her homeland with this knowledge: reduce poverty, reduce crime, improve agriculture; provide clean drinking water...
Most likely she will stay here in the USA (illegally) and spread discontentment and resentment while demanding public funds and free services.
There are professionals from around the world begging for a green card, to assimilate and be a contributing member of our society, but we refuse them and pay these parasites to enter our country.
