And what do you call the young lady, valedictorian of her high school class, who cannot get any financial aid to go to college because her parents carried her across the border before she could walk? What do you call her younger sibs, born in the US? How do you deal with the border regions, where families often straddle the international boundary and have lived here since long before the border existed? Is a bilingual child born in Mexico and raised in Tucson less "American" than one born in Tucson and raised in Magdalena?
