America has always been a land of immigrants. In recent years, however, immigration seems to have become a dirty word. "Si, Se Puede" (Yes, We Can!) attempts to redress the balance, profiling the lives and careers of Latino immigrants who came to this country with dreams of a better life. Against formidable obstacles; through hard work and with single-minded determination, these newest Americans tell the inspirational and uplifting stories of how they made their dreams into reality.
