The subject of this article is to investigate the “salmon-bias effect” for older immigrants, which suggests that Mexicans in the U.S. return to Mexico due to poor health, as an explanation for the “Hispanic health paradox,” that is, Latinos/Latinas in the United States are healthier than their socioeconomic status suggest they would be, and non-Hispanic Whites.

differences that divide us. It is our inability to recognize, accept, and celebrate those differences(Audre Lorde). Since I have memory, I remember coming to the United States of America to buy clothes with my family, more than twice a year. Since I am Mexican, I have always found a difference between American culture and our culture.

to different people; people define Chicano in their own different way. Many people will go with the simple definition which is a person that is born as American but has origin of a Mexican, however, for me, a Chicano is someone who is proud of who they are and defend their own for a fair treatment. A Chicano is a Mexican-American who is proud to say that they are a Chicano. For example, to me, Cesar Chavez defended all Chicanos and himself from the unfair treatment and payment that the Chicano…

The culture I was raised in by my parents is Mexican culture, which has been fundamental in developing my behavior and values.

As the Mexican government imposed more regulations on the Anglo Americans, the tension which had existed between the two groups due to the Nacogdoches land grant, become even more palpable.

I never knew another place to be my home other than Mexico. I grew up in the same home with the same friends, and I wasn’t ready to leave it all behind.

My family wanted a better life for their children and they were to get it, or so they thought. Growing up in the streets of Iztalapa, Mexico was difficult for not only me but the rest of my…
