Tijuana is nice so nice by you Hispanic saying...Why hell Mexicans trying to get to USA if your Mexico is so nice.... Of all the Mexicans illegal migration into USA, what is excuse for Mexicans to trashing USA? I cant understand your Mexican people. So biased. So racial motivated...

Mexican born author Luis Alberto Urrea is the son of a Mexican father and an American mother. Since he was a child, when his parents registered him as a U.S. citizen born abroad, he has had one foot in the U.S., and the other in Mexico. His work as an author reflects that duality. He is the author of The Devil’s Highway: A True Story, The Hummingbird’s Daughter, Across the Wire: Life, Hard Times at the Mexican Border, and Into the Beautiful North. In this conversation with Maria Hinojosa, Urrea talks about his dual-culture life experiences, why he doesn’t consider himself a border writer and getting to the big screen.
