A Really F**ked Up Time to Be an Immigra...

Our caller immigrated to the U.S. from Mexico just weeks before 9/11. He talks with Gethard about growing up as an immigrant in the Midwest and how figuring out his place there led him to question everything else in his life, from religion to relationships to identity itself.
