Jesse Sanchez
Dallas, TX
Restaurant manager
Jesse was born in Mexico and was brought to this country by his parents. He worked as a busboy and now manages the family restaurant and is proud to be an American citizen. It's hard for him to get away - his family has to fill in - so Tyson's Anytizers has provided a satellite video feed for his family at the restaurant. His mother, brother Juan and his daughter Jessica are shown. Jessica is why Jesse is here - she went online and put his name in and the dates that he could be there. [Transcriptionist's note: Jessica looks 7 or 8 years old.]
