Luz and his hermano become business owners.
In 2023, 878,500 individuals immigrated to the United States. 105,420 of them were from Mexico, making it the leading country of naturalizations. Many of these people are children who struggle to find relatable and positive stories like the ones provided by The Boy From Mexico Becomes a U.S. Citizen.
This book continues the story of Luz, the character of Edward Dennis’s The Boy From Mexico Becomes a Farm Worker and The Boy From Mexico. In The Boy From Mexico Becomes a U.S. Citizen, Luz tells the story of gaining US citizenship and the emotions involved in this difficult process.
