Marcelino Garcia

Country of origin: Mexico


The first time Marcelino “Chelino” Garcia entered the United States illegally at the age of 15, he made a silent pledge to himself.

“When I crossed the river the first time, I promised never to ask the U.S. government for anything,” Garcia said.

“And I never have. I never broke that promise.”
