what the hell is a chicana? you are right, they are as american as me. I am north american, and they are either central or south american. see, but I live in the united states.
Really? I would take it more that they identify themselves as Mexican of American residency. Or perhaps Mexican of American logistics. Certainly I do not get the impression that they identify themselves as US citizens first and foremost.
You know, my youngest son is actually an immigrant as he was born in Korea. Whenever we see Asian people who are obviously immigrants (heavy accents, though all speak English) and for that matter African immigrants they all say the same thing...."he is a lucky boy to be an American." not Korean - American, not Asian - American but American. That to me is at the heart of the immigration debate.....a group of self marginilzed people who cling to a country that abused them, and abuse a country that would further them.

Nope. Chicano means American of Mexican descent.
Chicano is an American culture.
Following your line of reasoning: George Romney; the former governor of Michigan was a Mexican (he was born there while his parents resided in Chihuahua) hence Mitt Romenty (his son) would be a Chicano.
