The movie reflects the fact that there is a cultural hive all the guys and girls that were born or were raised in the United States and that are the children, grandchildren, or great-grandchildren of Mexicans or Latin Americans have. They have a cultural hive to go back to. I hope that hive gives them the strength to counter the lies that are being...
