There are a lot of people that come to the United States to get work and find a better life to live in. There is a village in Mexico City which many migrant workers that move over to the United States to find a better life for them. The tzintzuntzan is a small village, which have a lot of their people mostly male that migrate either to an urban part of Mexico City or to the United States.
There are many people that lived in the village of tzintzuntzan but a lot of the people there moved out and have to adjust to the urban settings they moved to. There are many problems when they first moved to the urban cities. They are jobless and with assistance from friends and family they are able to get jobs (Gmelch p. 291). The jobs that the tzintzuntzan migrants are satisfied for only a short period time, they go search for better jobs while working the job they have now.
Even though the people that moved away from the village are living their lives in the urban city trying to find a living. Tzintzuntzan still have connection to their loved ones even if they are thousand miles apart. With the advance of transportation and communications there is no reason why the people that still live in tzintzuntzan can’t keep in touch with their loved ones. They also have an annual cycle fiesta and religious celebration that gets the migrants to come back and also some tourist to go there. One was the Senor del Rescate, which means the lord of the rescue it’s to baptized the children and have them come into church (Gmelch p.296).
I think its great that a small village can actually still keep in touch with the people that is in the urban city. I agree with how the people especially in the small villages have to go out and find jobs so they can live a better life. It’s hard to always keep in touch nor go back to the village cause work can take up a lot of the migrants time.
