Luna has not been found guilty as of yet of any crime‚ however‚ he has been arrested and charged with murder‚ possession of a controlled substance‚ tampering with physical evidence and engaging in organized criminal activity (LA Times &‚ KRGV News‚ 2015).

I read everything I can about the Mexico-America border. I’m slightly obsessed with it- partially due to the first trip I spent in Mexico‚ where we studied border issues in depth. It’s not really fair to speak of Mexico without the context of the United States and/or the border‚ and honestly‚ it’s not really fair to talk about the United States without talking about Mexico. A whole lot of us (me included) live in what used to be Mexico (now referred to by people in the Chicano Movement as "Aztlan")

Reading Borders reminded me of an experience I’ve had a short time ago. My parents invited some of our family friends and their children to dinner‚ and by no coincidence‚ they are all Chinese families. While the parents are socializing‚ we high school students talked about our lives. Soon I realized that I was looking at something that makes me curious: the ways children with multiple identities identify themselves. The friends I was talking to have significant differences in identifying themselves
