The number of Mexican immigrants who have taken out citizenship papers is very small, and this is regarded as a result of segregation. The Mexican when questioned about this answers that Americans in Mexico do not become Mexican citizens; or he is expecting to return to Mexico, but he rarely does. The Mexican brings with him a high degree of loyalty to his native country; often the educated and prosperous Mexican is prevented by property-owners from owning property in the better neighborhoods; the Mexican can secure justice from the Mexican consul more easily than in the courts in the United States. Finally, the Mexican says even if he became a citizen Americans would still call him a dirty greaser. Segregation is an especially acute problem for the children in the schools
