Colleges and universities present another opportunity. Many immigrants seek education in hopes of enhancing their skill sets and job prospects. California State University-Northridge (CSUN) graduate Esmerline Guardado is one. He and his family came to the United States in 2005, fleeing crime- and poverty-ravaged Honduras. He grew up in the San Fernando Valley. In middle school, he and his brother, both of whom dreamed of becoming police officers, completed a police-oriented program for youths. They both attended CSUN, earning their bachelor’s degrees in sociology in 2023.
