Myth of Plenty Lures Mexican Youth to U.S.
Lutton, Linda
Youth Today, v10 n5 p1,16-19 May 2001

Instituto del Progreso Latino--an alternative high school in Chicago--serves these youth successfully. Youth agencies must provide services that allow these youth to attend school and discourage gang involvement. (SV)
