A Former Illegal Immigrant Just Made My Christmas!
Good things can happen in Arizona!

My friend, of 30-years, just stopped by to wish me Merry Christmas and she looks just wonderful. She came across the border in 1980 to clean houses for the “gringo”. I was one of her clients and helped her get her citizenship papers.

I have never regretted it because she and her family have turned out to be hard working , model citizens. Her daughter married a local packing shed owner and the family is set for life. The American Dream can still come true.

Thanks, Inez for remembering me during this holiday season.

2. Real nice story! I have known many "illegals" and they were all hard workers!
I wish I could have helped them just as you did!
