Armando Ibañez
“I think that it is important to talk while some people have common dreams of having material things, experiences, or to accomplish certain goals such as a profession or traveling the world. The big dream for immigrants is to survive and to be able to pursue a better life with dignity and recognition as human beings. Those dreams stop here.”
