An illegal immigrant shares story

This opinion piece has a very good idea, I imagine he could fill this Hall of Fame fairly quickly. - - Donna Poisl

I’ve had this idea for a couple of years now to start a Former Illegal Immigrants Hall of Fame.

The concept is to honor individuals who at some point would have been considered undocumented but later found a way to citizenship and went on to make important contributions to our community or nation.

There’s a lot of folks like that out there, you realize, and they aren’t all of Mexican origin, although I suppose a large percentage are. They either entered the country by sneaking across the border or intentionally overstayed a visa. Some were brought here by their parents, while others came on their own.
