In our second podcast series of inmigration, we introduce Marcos Garcia. He is a salvadoran who came to the United States in 1980 scaping from the civil war. He is a salvadoran community leader for the Salvadoran civil war refugees commitee (CORES).

Marcos talks about the importance of being an inmigrant in the United States. How positive it is for salvadorans to live in this country and to aid the folks back home.

Inmigrants also need to share part of our culture with the United States but at the same time preserve their own for the future generations. Radicated in Summerville, Massachusetts, Marcos explains that the salvadorans who came to America in the early 1980's had to face different hardships that the new ones do not. He emphazises on the importance on gaining political power for the scalation of salvadorans inmigrants in America.
