Working with the Valley Migrant League, he collaborated with fellow Mt. Angel Student, Jose Garcia, and 12 Mexican families to start the Los Amigos Club,&nbsp; which established ways for farmworker families to settle in Washington County. It\u2019s aim was to stop the cycle of poverty among migrant Latinx\/a\/o, Chicanx\/a\/o, and Tejanx\/a\/o farmworkers by helping families buy homes and to provide social and educational services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jaime grew up in Mexico in the state of Morelos, the youngest of ten in a farming family. Two of his brothers participated in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oregonencyclopedia.org\/articles\/bracero_program\/#.YJ5KHC9h1QI\">Braceros program<\/a>, coming to the states to pick crops and Jaime remembers waiting on the checks they would send home. Early on, Jaime wanted an education. At 12 years old, when a priest came to his school and asked, \u201cWho wants to go to seminary to study?\u201d Jaime didn\u2019t know what seminary was but he raised his hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/lh6.googleusercontent.com\/vyPREIvf0JRNfSzkn3QsGsDGNTZopMM1ijZECOFEpOWFfY1GtrLtVruECETpzTNyA0WZr7HMLenJz3Pwb0kVToEB96nQGfqI--g_QGptrXJhq4jeeUEF4J_tUGOMPN_GCsuxw0oG\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"400\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;My whole life has been a constant process of education,\u201d said Jaime, going on to receive his BA, MA and M.
