Making a Life in the U.S., but Feeling Mexico’s Tug
Tagged: children, family, latina, Mexico, reporter, San Antonio, TexasPosted on: December 20th, 2006“Reporters and a photographer from The New York Times spent a week in October following Mrs. Rodríguez and two of her sisters, Verónica and Irma, all of whom speak primarily Spanish, to chronicle the American immigration experience through the turbulent, intertwined lives of one family from Mexico.
Mrs. Rodríguez’s legal immigration status has been both a privilege and a burden. Like countless others from Mexico, the largest source of newcomers to this country, Mrs. Rodríguez has secured a stable, decent life in the United States with her husband and two children, far better than anything she could have hoped for where she was born.”
