Mr. Garcia says Hispanics will have better opportunities if barriers to education and the workplace are
broken down and Hispanics are encouraged and welcome to participate in all aspects of American life.
Mr. Garcia says including Hispanics and creating better opportunities will ultimately improve the lives of
everyone.
Mr. Lopez says we have come a long way as a nation and there are enough opportunities for people
who play by the rules. Mr. Lopez thinks Hispanics will be better off if they put less emphasis on their
cultural identity, such as language, food, and traditions -- and ignore barriers that exist.
