Is this spending by Hispanic families who have been for days, decades or centuries?
The statistic includes all of them. But I suspect the bulk of back-to-school spending is by those here decades or centuries.
When I was selling door-to-door many years ago, I loved hitting the Mexican neighborhoods. They are not afraid to spend their money and if they have it and they want something they will buy. I, personally, love the Mexican people, at least the ones I know and that live around me. They are on the whole, good, God-fearing, family-loving, dog-loving, hard-working people.
