Today life in the cities of Mexico has become similar to that in neighboring United States and Europe, with provincial people conserving traditions more so than the Mexican living in the city.

lives by attempting to enter a place where they experience a wide range of hostility? People of Mexican origin inhabited the Southwest United States long before the arrival of European Americans and the Caucasian citizens of this country.
