The problem arises because the Hays community, a predominantly white community, may not be preparing to face the rapidly growing Mexican community. Like other citizens, Mexican immigrants need to feel like they are welcomed and cared about, but most importantly they need to know that they are accepted. In order to do this, the Hays community needs to be educated about the Mexican culture so there is better understanding and therefore acceptance. We must take a proactive role in creating a community in which others feel welcomed. This can be accomplished by contacting people and businesses through the media and on a personal basis.
