Q: Are you still fluent in Spanish A: Yes I am. Q: What are the greatest culture differences that you can notice between the two nations? A: My family is very loud, other people here are quite, the food is different, the whole lifestyle, and the social classes are way more cut and defined in Mexico, you are either rich or poor and here a middle ground exists.

Q: Why did your family decide to move to Minnesota? A: Its actually a personal story, my dad was having a lot of trouble with alcoholism and he attended Hazelden and we just moved here. Q: What challenges did your family face when they came to America? A: We lived as illegal immigrants in San Diego, and the whole process to become legal and get a green card was very difficult and complex, and we figured out later that there was an easier way. Q: Do you consider yourself to be more American or Mexican? A: In Mexico I consider myself more Mexican, but I’ve adapted here. Q: Do you ever see yourself going to study or live in Mexico in the future? A: Yeah definitely, I would like to go even further south maybe to South America to teach English, but I would not want to live there. Q: What do you think of the current immigration problem? Do you agree with the way the United States is handling the problem? A: In terms of deporting I disagree, I don’t think the United States has the authority to not allow people to seek better lives. Q: Do you have any family members who have tried to immigrate to America but haven’t due to the long wait list? A: No not due to the wait list, funny story, my grandma fake married a man and moved to the United States, we also want my great grandma to move to the United States because she is very old and we want to take care of her before she passes away. Q: Do you know anyone who has been affected by the drug cartels? A: Actually my aunt and cousin were sitting on their porch one day when a ton of police cars showed up and there was shooting between the drug workers and the police and my family witnessed it, this was in Mexico City. Q: Are you happy you moved to the United States or do you wish you still lived in Mexico? A: I love my life how it is but I wish I could bring some of the perks I had in Mexico to the United States. Q: Although you were young, did you have any problems assimilating to life in America? A: Well the language was tough, I remember always spending time with friends and randomly speaking to them in Spanish and not even knowing that I was speaking a foreign language
