“Q. Why did you write `Ex-Mex’?

A. I thought it was important that there be a Mexican viewpoint in the U.S. immigration debate. Right now, the Mexican viewpoint is not present. There is a liberal viewpoint, a conservative viewpoint, a Latino or Hispanic viewpoint — but strictly speaking, there is not a Mexican viewpoint. I don’t pretend to be the Mexican viewpoint, but a Mexican viewpoint.
