In a Newsweek opinion piece, Henry Cisneros shares his thoughts on investing in Latinos as a necessary part of investing in the success of the United States.  His call to action holds both America and its Latino residents as accountable for their part in ensuring that the U.S. continues to grow.

He also speaks to the importance of retaining culture while adding American culture and the English language to Latinos’ American experience:

Of course, Latinos must also take advantage of the opportunities that do exist, and invest in American society. Immigrants must do whatever they can to master English. They must prepare themselves to succeed in the workplace, and to guide their children through the school system. They must save to buy their own homes, and work to provide their families with a health plan, retirement plan and savings account. They should participate enthusiastically in civic, community and religious activities. And they should strive for full citizenship.
