Borderlands
You can always find someone to talk in the bus. From a construction worker to a student to a house wife. Normal people with their everyday life. If you ask them they'll tell you “Soy Latino, Mexicano Hispano-Americano, Mexican-American, Amercian” They are like any other American, and believe in the same American principle “The harder you work, the better you will live”.
Our community is old and is constantly growing. We have roots here and in the other side of the border. Tucson is only 60 miles away from the Mexican border, but it feels like we are closer.
All through the barrio you can find the American flag, waving in all its glory, reminding us that we are here now. In our home, en nuestra tierra.
