Bocanegra is not from Mexico. The start of the interview isn't entirely clear, but he's saying *his father* was born in Jalisco.

Ok can we confirm where he was born...so far people have claimed that he was born in Alta Loma, Upland, and Mexico.

As noted above, he wasn't born in Mexico. That came from a mis-interpreted audio interview. Presumably, Alta Loma was listed because it's his "hometown," where he was raised but not necessarily born. Here are a couple of sites that list Upland ... they also correctly list Pablo Mastroeni's birthplace as Mendoza, Argentina, rather than Phoenix, where he was raised.
