The term Mexican American implies she is a natural citizen of America of Mexican decent, so, great her parents worked to put her in school, so did mine. I could have taken my graduation photos at my dads bakery, or took them washing the dishes because mom was a stay at home mom. We should all celebrate our parents who loved us, took care of us, and raised us. That is AMERICA.

I worked doing this for 27 years so my children didn’t have to, but they knew how hard it was because they worked weekends, too until they graduated,. Oldest joined the Marines, second works in Doctor’s office, third and fourth work at Sysco for over 20 years .

BRAVO IRAN 🇮🇷! AMERICA HAS LOST THIS CONFLICT.
IRAN, CHINA AND RUSSIA HAS SHOWN AMERICA THAT ITS IMPERIALISM AND HEGEMONY IS OVER.
AMERICA IS IN ECONOMIC COLLAPSE AND THE DOLLAR IS BEING DEVALUED.
AMERICA GO HOME!
In the bars and when alone downtown late at night. . .I am Mexican.
