Mexican music turns Chicano, tackles immigration issues

On a holiday-like note, we wanted to point you in the direction of a New York Times article that looks at how Mexican "corrido" music has been translated into Chicano culture here in the United States. We're sure that the lyrics and story will be of interest to readers of our blog.
Now they are putting up barriers in front of us so we don't return / but that is not going to block us from crossing into the United States / We leap them like deer, we go under them like moles

Why do they think it's a point of pride that their own country doesn't want them and is so crap that nobody wants to live there? You think they'd be ashamed of the fact that they have to violate the US's sovereignty in order to live decently.
