Ethnic Experience:Immigration of Jose Moguel By Jordan Johnson
Interview Details The interview took place on May 17, 2010.  I met Jose at his jobsite after he got off work. I had to use a friend of his as a translator, as my Spanish is quite rusty.  I chose Jose because his story was interesting, and he is truly a wonderful person to get to know.
Background Information Jose Moguel -From Vera Cruz, Mexico -Married to wife of 7 years -Have 3 children together, ages 3,6, and 9 -Came to U.S.to work and start a new life for his family
Gender Roles -Husband is the breadwinner of the family -Wife stays home, raises children, does all housework, does all cooking
Religious and Spiritual Beliefs -Very strict Catholic -Still attends services here in U.S. -Believes in black magic, and is very superstitious
Child Rearing -Believes children should be corrected the first time they act up -Believes spanking is ok when needed
Food: Mexico vs. America -Says food here is very bland and boring -Misses his wife’s cooking -Says food back home is much better
Communication -Eye contact shows confidence and respect -Tone of voice more important than body language
Black Magic -Black cat means death of a loved one -White owl means one’s impending death -Evil eye brings bad luck
Immigrant Status: Pros and Cons -Hard to make friends because of language barrier -Gets made fun of for his accent -Better work opportunities -Better health care available
My Reactions I was shocked at some of the conditions of living Jose told me about.  I was not aware of the presence of drug cartels, nor the lack of healthcare in the area that he lived.  I had only seen tourist Mexico, and was not aware of the horrible conditions under which some people lived.  I am happy to have had the experience to get to know Jose, his history and background.  He is a wonderful person, and I wish him nothing but the best of luck in getting his family into the United States.
