My mother was an illeagal for years before becomming a US citizen. I am well aware of who I am and what brought me here. I am just sick and tired of being put into some category that I am not Mexican enough for some of you. I have studied my heritage intensly, and my roots to Mexico are very close to my heart. By this I mean my Family. My father and his father served USA in times of war, this is my right and honor to fly the only flag that has brought prosperity to my family's name. I have never been ashamed of being of Mexican decent. Trust me, I am doing what I can to make it here in the USA. I dont say that it has always been fair for Mexicans here in USA, but we fought for generations and we are here. My father and grand parents comes from the ZOOT SUIT Generation. They stood up to the local governments in Los Angeles. I claim the flag as my own because my family fought for it and it is just as much ours as any other American.
