Description
From the Project Description: ”Mexican immigrants come to the U.S. and do the hard and messy jobs that a lot of other people in the U.S. do not want to do while only getting paid minimum wage, at times less than that...They have to sacrifice quality time with family and miss out of some of the most important parts of their children's life in order for them to survive, not just to succeed in life, but to survive. Designing a Mexican Cultural Center that will aid immigrants while in the U.S. would facilitate the process of acquiring employment and a living place. In addition these types of services along with legal services would create a sense of security among recent immigrants in the U.S., perhaps without any knowledge of how life in the U.S. is like. Likewise, a Mexican Cultural Center would serve as a source for Mexican-Americans and non-Mexicans to be exposed to immigrants and the culture that they bring with them...To design a Mexican Cultural Center where all people can go to in search of knowledge about Mexico and its people is an excellent start.”
