Abstract | Daniel Ibáñez is an undergraduate student at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Ibáñez came to the United States to earn his bachelor’s degree. The interview was organized around a few important topics, including Daniel Ibáñez’s life in El Salvador, the reasons why people migrate from El Salvador to the United States and the importance of remittances for the people that live in El Salvador. He also spoke about what people in the United States think about El Salvador and how people associate El Salvador with gangs and violence, when in reality those gangs originated in the United States and were “exported” to El Salvador. Ibáñez also shared his perspective on the topic of migration of Salvadorians to the United States and how people from this country tend to asume that those who look Latino or Hispanic are Mexicans, which provokes negative feelings mainly from Central Americans towards Mexicans. |
