In 1995, the Latino and American music industry lost an icon to what has become known as one of the most tragic deaths in the music industry. Selena Perez-Quintanilla, only 23 years old at the time of her murder, was known as the "Queen of Tejano.” Despite her short lifespan, Selena achieved what few people had ever achieved before her – that is a successful crossover. It should be made clear from the start that the term ‘crossover’ does not refer to her entrance into the mainstream American music industry but rather her entrance and success into the Latino music industry. Too often this side of Selena’s success story is ignored and the focus is instead placed on her ‘crossover’ into the American market. Such was the case in the film Selena

The writer, Maribel Garcia Ochoa, begins her piece with making the claim that because of Donald Trump being elected, California shaped this “defensive” attitude. Then Ochoa supported her claim with the evidence of the immigration policy issue. In addition, she believes that, “SB 54 would prevent the use of state and local resources to assist federal deportation efforts.” In fact, SB 54 has been recently amended in Senate on March 6, 2017. Another claim that Ochoa made was that California’s immigration policy was not completely for Asians it was also towards Mexicans. Ochoa used statistics, “Early into the ’30s, over 15 million Americans, about one quarter of all wage earners, were unemployed,” to show that once Mexicans entered California the unemployment rate of whites skyrocketed.

At 18 years old, my mother was dating Marco Antonio Flores and was given a decision to make that changed her life. Her father had found out that she was dating him, and asked her, “La escuela o el novio?” This means that she had to either choose the school or her boyfriend and she chose her boyfriend, who ended up being my father.
