college and high school grads are more likely to vote

but i think a bigger factor is that there are a lot of mexicans out there who are permanent residents and are eligible to become citizens. for some reason, they won't vote. and the ones who are citizens don't vote for other reasons.

graduation rates differ across the nation. for latinos in california, the figure i've heard most recently:

100 students begin the 9th grade
57 graduate high school
31 of those will go on to higher education (but most will be in a 2-year community college)
14 of those students will earn a college degree after 6 years (both AA and BA)
only 4 of those 100 students will have a Bachelor's degree.
