Yolanda Apodaca from Albuquerque. wrote: On September 4. 1983. our family was traveling by car to Silver City. New Mexico. We were stopped at a road block on Interstate 10 and we were asked to declare our citizenship. Not having done anything wrong. we were momentarily stunned. When we regained our senses. the border patrol officer still stood there waiting for our responses. My husband answered tersely. "American citizen." The officer then stared at me and waited for my response and he proceeded to do the same with my husbands parents. We drove away in silence. angry. indignant. and humiliated.
