" You're a border kid, a foot on either bank. Your ancestors crossed this river a thousand times. No wall, no matter how tall, can stop your heritage from flowing forever, like the Rio Grande itself."
"M'ijo, pale folks catch all the breaks here and in Mexico, too. Not our fault. Not fair. Just the way it's been for years. Doors will open for you that won't for me... But now you've got to hold them open for us all." - They Call Me Güero: A Border Kid's Poems "
