"The border is not the idealized metaphorical site of a new hybridity. Laredo, Nogales, Juarez, Mexicali, Calexico, Tijuana, National City are not figures of speech. They are first and last physical locations of great economic, social and cultural strife. Still, it is all for a purpose: this facile use of language. The “border” as a metaphor poses no threat to the cultural and economic dominance by Euro-America."
