In an interview with a 30-year-old male immigrant, Johnny, we discussed when and why his family moved. He was born in Venezuela, brought up in Colombia, and then moved to New York City at the age of 11 and back again at 18:
We were in Medellin, well, I was in Medellin until the age of 11. My parents immigrated first, to the U.S., and I was left with my grandparents. They watched over me during the time they were in the U.S. […] They came here to work, for a better life, as most Latin American families do when they come to the US.”
