During this time nothing historical was occurring that could've or did affect them. They got here pretty safely to my knowledge and although they could've been struggling with shelter they certainly weren't being oppressed by any historical events.

Coming to America my parents struggled with paying for shelter and having enough money all the time to provide for my brother and themselves. My mother at the time of coming to America was also pregnant with my oldest sister which added to their stressful situation. My parents did not give me any further information because they believed it was too personal of a subject.

My parents were able to come here because my father was working for a construction team and his boss was kind enough to offer to pay for his, my mothers, and my brothers documents. Of course they took him up on his offer because they believed it was too amazing to pass up. My parents wanted to come here for the same purpose as most immigrants, because they saw an opportunity for a better life and better chances for their children. My parents believed that by coming here my father could get a better paying job and that their kids could have better schooling than they could've gotten in Mexico.
