As the child of Mexican immigrants - my mom arrived legally, my dad came in the trunk of a Chevy - I have dealt with American suspicion about Latinos and especially Mexicans, personally and professionally, for most of my life. The ignorance - yes, we assimilate, and no, we're not sleeper agents hell-bent on retaking the American Southwest through demographics and enchiladas - mostly amuses me when it doesn't offend.
Voters will go to the polls in less than three weeks, ears ringing with rhetoric from Democrats and Republicans alike about this border and what the migrants who cross it represent for the future of this country.
