POINT OF ENTRY
• The point of entry for my parents was crossing the U.S and Mexican Border, illegally; in 1975.
WAVES OF IMMIGRATION
• My parents are part of the 4th wave of immigration (1975).
PUSH FACTORS AND PULL FACTORS
• Both of my parents wanted a well suitable life for themselves and for their children. The push factors that made them migrate to the U.S. were unstable job security, safety, and poverty.
• They both wanted to come U.S because of the Pull factors like safety, better income, education for their children, and stability.
MIGRATED
• My mother and father migrated from Guanajuato, Mexico to Corona, CA.
URBAN AND RURAL
• My parents came from an urban part of Guanajuato, Mexico to a rural part, located in Corona, California, full of flat farmland.
POVERTY
• Poverty was one of the biggest struggles for my parents while living in Guanajuato, Mexico. They struggled less as they started to earn more money in the U.S.
ECONOMIC SECTOR
• The first job my parents worked was in the strawberry fields in Corona; which would be consider the Primary Economic Sector.
CLIMATE
• The weather conditions in Guanajuato, Mexico can be really cold as well as hot for long periods of the year.
• Climate in California was just perfect for my parents.
CHAIN MIGRATION
• Once my parents have established a good location to live, they started to write to some of their family member and some of them moved because of the good things they wrote about.
LANGUAGE BARRIER
• The language barrier was difficult for my parents. They would learn English from people they spoke to at work, their children and classes they would take; taught at an elementary school at night for non-English speakers
ASSIMILATION
• My parents would start to do more “American” things like going out to eat as a family with my two older brothers
• They would make it a tradition to go out and eat at least once a month together.
