Quizas luego los traduzco en ingles para todos los lectores. Sabia de los latinamericanos pero no sabia de los africanos, etc. Entiendo si algien vive aya y es parte de la sociedad, en la marina, etc., ya dedicando su vida al otro pais, que se dicen "nortamericanos," pero con las ninas que mencione aqui, no hablaron ingles, casi nunca vivieron aya, ni tenian nada de la cultura nortamericana. Eso es lo que me surprendio. Siempre emfatizo con mis hijos que son los 2 (mexicano, canadiense) pero supongo un dia van a eligir uno.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11932877602781496349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-415442715353378665.post-25904835056927918932011-10-24T19:29:24.944-07:002011-10-24T19:29:24.944-07:00Me gusta que todo lo que escribes lo haces de mane...Me gusta que todo lo que escribes lo haces de manera imparcial y real. Es cierto yo como mexicano e visto a varios paisanos negando ser mexicanos a mi sinceramente me da mucho coraje aunque por otro lado hay gente que es de origen mexicano y que si tu los ves de inmediato piensas que son mexicanos pero en realidad son sus abuelos o bisabuelos los que llegaron por primera vez a estados unidos y estos conservan su aspecto de mexicanos pero no su cultura, etc.<br /><br />Es como muchos españoles, frances, libaneses, etc que se han venido a mexico y que si los ves piensas que son extranjeros pero llevan viviendo su familia en mexiuco desde hace 3 o 4 generaciones y si es cierto son mexicanos aunque su aspecto no lo sea, pienso que algo similar a de suceder con muchos mexicanos en EU.<br /><br />Otra cosa que hay que tomar en cuenta es que muchisimos de los que cruzan ese muro fornterizo no son mexicanos, han encontrado asiaticos y africanos cruzando ese muro y con mayor razon gente de otras partes de america latina que al cruzar la frontera la migra piensa que son mexicanos ademas que ellos dicen ser mexicanos porque si dicen que son colombianos, guatemaltecos, peruanos u otro pais latinoamericano pues los mandarian de regreso a sus paises en cambio si dicen ser mexicanos los dejan en mexico para asi cruzar la frontera de nuevo en unas cuantas semanas o meses.<br /><br />como tu lo dices es un tema muy polemico que tiene muchas cosas que tomar en cuenta.<br /><br />no se que tan cierto sea pero vi por ahi que solo comno el 20% de los ilegales de estados unidos son mexicanos el resto son de otros paises latinoamericamos.<br /><br />Respecto al sentimiento de identidad americana y no mexicana pues pienso que es porque muchos se criaron en estados unidos, tengo una prima 100% mexicana pero nacio en estados unidos y actualmente esta en la naval de estados unidos y estoy seguro que ni siquiera se sabe el himno nacional mexicano, para mi es una lastima eso pero es la realidad.<br /><br />Por otro lado tengo una prima que nacio en mexico pero de los 3 a 8 años vivio en estados unidos, ella ya es adulta y dice que curiosamente siente mas bonito cuando escucha el himno de estados unidos que el de mexico, que el de mexico no le causa nada y que ella cree que es porque desde muy niña en la escuela escucho solo el himno de EU y no el de mexico.Salvadornoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-415442715353378665.post-17463425023410331702011-01-06T20:36:30.906-08:002011-01-06T20:36:30.906-08:00That is pretty funny!

I like that fact that you're making an effort to raise them in both cultures; most people give a real emphasis to one or the other, and the kids loose out on what could be an important experience.<br /><br />I'm also making my kids dual citizens (Mexico-Canada.) I still have to do it for the baby; he's a month old. I'm attempting both cultures as well.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11932877602781496349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-415442715353378665.post-6210681056955428462011-01-06T19:18:37.459-08:002011-01-06T19:18:37.459-08:00I do agree with almost all. :).

I'm sorry but I do like to see their faces sometimes.<br /><br />I'm really proud of been Mexican, My kids were born in US but I do gave them the dual citizenship as soon as I could ( when they where out of the hospital and I got all the papers) This was weird for the lady at the consulate, BTW. as she says most people wait until they urgently need to travel back or something else... most "kids" are adults by that time. <br /><br />I'm trying to raise both kids in both cultures. It has been proven difficult more now that my 2nd has been diagnosed with autism and we are just trying to find out how far he is to help..or how much we can do now.- different topic-<br /><br />But is pretty fun sometimes with the people that denies to be Mexican. I physically do not look like the Mexican stereotype people wait to see. Normally people think I'm Italian. And when I speak Russian, as after a few years my accent speaking English has clearly changed. So when someone I KNOW is Mexican says he/she doesn't speak Spanish I start speaking Spanish or mixing it with English until they answer. :) then I just smile. and keep speaking Spanish. <br /><br />It is even funnier when is my 3 yo girl doing that. :)Sabrinahttp://deaquipaya.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-415442715353378665.post-86681991702571011882011-01-04T22:34:59.595-08:002011-01-04T22:34:59.595-08:00Thanks Todd!

I suppose that doesn't quench the political rage that rampid these days. Fast, uncontrolled change is always frightening, especially when people feel their own opportunities are being lost through it (I don't put myself above this.) But I agree; there has to be a win-win solution. I think ignorance and political ideologies (again, on both sides of the spectrum) are probably the biggest barriers to finding it.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11932877602781496349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-415442715353378665.post-61977323927706998922011-01-03T23:23:55.009-08:002011-01-03T23:23:55.009-08:00Jacob, your one cent opinion is worth a pound, or ...Jacob, your one cent opinion is worth a pound, or 2.2 kilo`s of gold. I can`t really add much other than to say that I am from the U.S. and that I am embarrassed that most americans will turn their nose up at a chance at a few caguamas and an evening with what could be some great new friends and new perspectives that could lead to progress.<br /><br />It especially sickens me when I see good decent human beings dying of thirst in the desert. I don`t know what the answer is, but there MUST be a win-win solution out there somewhere. <br /><br />We have a maid who comes once a week. This freaks me out actually because I`ve never had a made before in the states. Her name is Vicky. Vicky was working in the states illegally for many years to help her family here in Mexico. She braved the crossing several times throughout the years to see her family and was fortunately never caught. She is a great lady.<br /><br />The last two paragraphs of your entry are priceless with truth, just priceless!toddmuddywatershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00295698348633335486noreply@blogger.com
