My family cares incredibly for the well being of each other and their future so I could only imagine they moved for the well being of their future children. America offers many opportunities to the people within the country, admittedly more than a lot of other countries. Realistically it was the most effective way to progress the family at that moment.]]> 2019-05-08 20:16:43 UTC https://padlet.com/935946/it07f53gpkgo/wish/358237186 What were the obstacles that they met? 935946 https://padlet.com/935946/it07f53gpkgo/wish/358239138    One of my family's largest struggles at the time was money. They were still able to do well in America by making cuts everywhere they could as well as powering through the hardships of finding work in a somewhat foreign country. For around two to three decades, the skill of architecture has been passed down my family. Even today my family puts in an extra effort to save money we can, not necessarily because we have to but because that what we were taught by each of our parents, who were told by the parents before them.]]> 2019-05-08 20:25:17 UTC https://padlet.com/935946/it07f53gpkgo/wish/358239138 What was going on Historically in the U.S. during this time and did it affect your family? 935946 https://padlet.com/935946/it07f53gpkgo/wish/365476273    During the time that my great, great grandmother was immigrating from Mexico,and the great depression was about to hit. Mexican immigrants had it especially hard during this time because not only did they have to face job and food shortages, but they had to face a mass deportation. America actually offered free transportation back to Mexico, although leaving the little work they were lucky to have to go back to Mexico, the place they were trying to leave in the first place would have been incredibly hard as well. ]]> 2019-06-04 04:17:47 UTC https://padlet.com/935946/it07f53gpkgo/wish/365476273 Video 935946 https://padlet.com/935946/it07f53gpkgo/wish/365734802 2019-06-05 01:32:58 UTC https://padlet.com/935946/it07f53gpkgo/wish/365734802
