For our series "Between Homelands," we've teamed up with students from USC Annenberg's School for Communication and Journalism. They're bringing us stories of people living in California who have come from afar, or who were born in the U.S. but feel like cultural foreigners. Today, we feature the story of a brother and sister who live in a house divided by law. Lupe Herrera feels American, but she also carries the burdens of her undocumented, Mexican-born family.
