A show about US immigration - and all things related - national identity, culture, family, and borders. And since the US is a country of immigrants: it’s you and I, us and them, telling our stories. Hosted by storytellers Nestor Gomez and Angel Ling, this is a podcast where we share stories, conversations, and commentary, to examine the historical and contemporary ideas, policies, and events that have forged national identity, community, and belonging in America.
Immigration Stories with Nestor Gomez is a production of 80 Minutes Around the World Immigration Stories.
