For years Mexican immigrants have been the center of a lot of powerful leaders and some of the American society’s attention. Today there has been a significant rise in the views of Mexican immigrants as the election draws nearer. One of the candidates for this year’s election has even been quoted saying that the…

Even in the shift from the indigenous community to…
