Mexican-Americans, do you feel connected with Mexico or identity as a Mexican?

Seeing how much Mexican -Americans are hated in Mexico (and even given a derogatory word) and are often told "you are not from here nor from there. You don't have an identity of your own." I wonder how mex-americans feel about this?

It's quite the opposite sentiment that they give foreigners that admire Mexican culture. "Brother, you're already Mexican!" Or "Mexicans are born where ver they want!"
