Reyna Masko: A Salvadoran Immigration Story

April 10, 20193-bottom, Citizen JournalismAlan Headbloom, El Salvador, Feel Like You Belong, immigrant, Reyna Orellana MaskoJoanne

 

By Alan Headbloom, Feel Like You Belong

 

Reyna Orellana Masko shares some of the unspeakable horrors of life, violence, and death in her native El Salvador. A U.S. citizen today, she calls for the national administration to reinstate Temporary Protection Status (TPS) for the 200,000 Salvadorans at risk of being sent back to a land of estrangement and danger. Relatedly, she calls for Ottawa County residents to create a more welcoming community that is able to attract and retain diverse workers who are the global doers of tomorrow.
