It used to be that the people of El Salvador were fleeing this country because, look, you were risking being murdered. Your kids were risking being murdered. You wanted to get out. Now we are seeing reverse migration. There are roughly 6 million Salvadorans in El Salvador. There are about 3 million Salvadorans in the United States. President Bucalli told me roughly half of those Salvadorans in America, about one and a half million, have said they want to come back to El Salvador. (35:53–36:00)
