”We certainly feel like we have a target on our back, but we still have to do our job,' members of the Mariachi Femenil Flores Mexicanas say.
EL PASO, Texas — Latinos around the country have expressed feeling fearful and vulnerable after a gunman targeting Hispanics walked into a Walmart store in this west Texas city and fatally gunned down 22 people.
“What is more Hispanic than wearing a mariachi outfit?” Lilly Sanchez, who has led the group since 2002, said. ”We certainly feel like we have a target on our back, but we still have to do our job, so we do our job.”“It's still fresh, it's very fresh,” Sanchez, who plays the guitar, said. “We still pass by that Walmart every single day, several times a day, so it's a reminder that it just happened, and yeah, we're feeling afraid, we're feeling targeted after this.
“I also know that we still have to keep on going, and I trust the city,” Perea said. “It was from someone on the outside. No one in the city would actually do that, and I put that trust back into the people and that's what makes me go outside every single day.”
