There are three types of white girls that I like, which are the ones who wear tights and UGG boots, country girls that wear the cowgirl boots and my favorite are the girls that wear…

During the 1940s-1980s, and even stretching into the current day, Latino Americans grew up with the same struggles as any other “colored” ethnic group.

To show how much America wants to cease the immigrant flow to the United States, immigration enforcement takes up half…

How can everyone say that racism is over? When we all Mexicans are feeling it. It's so sad how many immigrant families feel so scare about the new president, since it can change every Mexican family in the United States. Why been immigrant is so bad?

to sit. Same Mexican music playing from the radio, same Mexican shows showing on the TV’s and the same waiters and waitresses from before.

As I turned the pages of Reyna Grande’s memoir The Distance between Us, my mind was transformed and my views on immigration and life have changed drastically. The privileged are often unknowingly selfish and can be ignorant to other people’s woes. I, myself have been guilty of this in the past, but I’m making an effort to do better. Reyna Grande paints a vivid picture of the poverty she endured while living in Mexico. I felt the pain, disappointment, happiness, hope, and animosity that many of…
