If you are first gen Mexican American / Chicano, I highly recommend you apply for Mexican citizenship, especially if both of your parents are or were undocumented immigrants

The next four years could be potentially dangerous for us. Republicans have threatened to end birthright citizenship and strip millions of immigrants and first generation USians of their US legal residence status and/or citizenship

However, if you are a first gen Mexican American / Chicano you may be eligible to become a full Mexican citizen without having to fulfill any legal residency requirements or take the Mexican citizenship exam:

And as for those of you who are not eligible to receive Mexican citizenship by descent (e.g. second+ gen on both sides), you may potentially be eligible to become noncitizen Mexican national you can provide proof of Mexican ancestry. While it would not grant you the full rights of either a natural born or naturalized Mexican citizen, it would allow you to legally live and work in Mexico. It can also help speed up the naturalization process should you choose to seek Mexican citizenship: More specifically, you would only need to live in Mexico as a legal resident for two years as opposed to the standard five

While Mexican immigrants and double first generation Mexican Americans / Chicanos would be most at risk of potentially losing their US legal residence status or citizenship under Trump, any Mexican American / Chicano could potentially be at risk. Yes even if your family has lived in the US for generations. Yes, even if your family has assimilated into whiteness

The United States already did something similar in the past. During the 1930's, the US deported an estimated 1 to 2 million Mexicans and Mexican Americans. It is believed that around 60% of the people deported were US citizens

HAPPY 32ND BIRTHDAY, TYLER POSEY!!!

HAPPY 1 YEAR JACKRABBIT BRUJO!!!

That's right! One year ago I released my book! It's been a whirlwind and immensely surreal, but here's what's going on since that time frame:

Physical editions are in the works, and should be out by early next year-ish! I'm fortunate enough to go through a local brick and mortar bookshop/publisher

Relatedly, though it'd be a year from now I'm working on setting up an author event at said bookshop/publisher

Book! 2! The first draft is almost finished at 50k/estimated 65k words! Will be available digitally first before physically

Despite these advancements, I'm still an extremely independent author/publisher, the book is written/edited/cover illustrated all by me. Though wrapped in a magical realism murder mystery, Jackrabbit Brujo is a deeply personal exploration of mixed culture and grief set in Tucson, Arizona through the lens of its mixed Mexican-American protagonist Vel and Hmong-American Shoua.

You can read some reviews on Barnes and Noble, but the best way to support me is through my Ko-Fi Shop! I am currently still part-time so any support is really welcome ;-;
