“That’s the story. That’s what she said again and again. Once to the hospital people and twice to the police. No address. No name. Nothing in his pockets." What point do you think Cisneros is making about language and status in vingette #25?

In my opinion, Cisneros is making a point about the way people can become lost in the system. Geraldo came from a different country, spoke a different language, and as an immigrant..... he is treated as a second class citizen. Sadly, his family in Mexico will likely never learn his fate.
