From the Paper:

"Immigrants start from the bottom and work up; however as Stephen Steinberg points out, "the bottom has by no means been the same for all groups" (42). Today in Boulder, the most exploited immigrant group is the Hispanic community. Steinberg explains the Hispanic economic experience thus: "Forced to work for substandard wages, (Hispanics) continue in their historic role as a cheap labor reserve" (23). "
