Quotes:

"A language which they can connect their identity to, one capable of communicating the realities and values true to themselves." (35-36)

According to this quote, we can read the article by telling the author's background, culture and identity because language is one of the effective way to impress our own experiences into texts.

"Deep in our hearts we believe that Mexican has nothing to do with which country one lives in."

This quote is saying that no matter what languages you speak that's where you are originally from, so it doesn't matter you live in foreign country or not.   

"There are more subtle ways that we internalize identification, especially in the forms of images and emotions." (42)

This quote means that we can attach with our ethnicity like maintaining some basic beliefs for any types of religious or race.  We cannot resist to them and that's how we show our identify through action and behaviors.

"Identity is the essential core of who we are as individuals, the conscious experience of the self inside." (42)
