Is this Home, or this Home?

Reading Gloria Anzaldua's piece, "Borderlands, La Frontera The New Mestiza" and "The Homeland, Aztlan" hit a different place in the values presented in all this. There were points in the article where I was thinking this is all normal because we are used to it. Moments such as when Anzaldua was explaining how when the kids were outside, they would run around and they would be running around, and Anzaldua would describe how the mom would always say "don't run" in Spanish because they might notice that they are not a part of the village or the city or anything like that. Any of the above would result in the fact that there was this certain immigration boundary between everyone and amongst them. No matter what they tried to do or how they were, having a feeling of home was not on their top list because of how much they were scared. Which brings in the idea of immigration and how they always looked at the border as such a heavy burden on them. Which is true because to the immigrants, the border was a place of fear and nothing but sadness, and nothing more than a line which divided them from their home and their "fake home" in a sense. And it is not until three or four generations where the immigrants feel like they actually can call this new country their own home. However, they are not alone in all this, because right behind them are all the other immigrants who feel exactly the same way as they do. And like we have discussed, that is why these immigrants who come into the country all feel the same way, and end up gathered in an area. That is why when there is a city named or place described people always say, "Oh, Puerto Ricans live there" and that is all because they came from a different country and all came together because they all feel the same way. They can relate on a whole different level which cannot be described to anyone else. And that is all because of how they approach life, or how they are with everyone around them. However, these are ideas which will appear for many generations, but there is always a way about them, and Anzaldua's way of explaining it is very crucial.
