This is very common in cities along the U.S/Mexico border. Many children’s mothers will cross into the United States and have their children in the United States, but the family and child will actually live in Mexico. Many children will grow up in Mexico and then attend high school in the United States. They are United States citizens by law because they were born here, but will also have Mexican citizenship. In the morning you will see hundreds of children crossing to come to school in the United States. At the University in El Paso you will hear Spanish spoken more than English. Students will even study in Spanish in groups and then translate everything back into English in their minds while taking tests. The border culture is very unique because it is a mix between two countries.
