Dear Editor:
I was flabbergasted when I read the comment from Mary Ann V. M. Lopez, "proud to be a (legal) USC", and I would like to share a little story, I always taught
my 10 year old son to tell the truth and to never lie, I taught him that bad
people go to jail, then when he came to visit me while Immigration arrested
me I did not know what to say to him, There is a little disabled girl who may die because she is not receiving the medical care she deserves as an American Citizen, both of my kids are in a foreign country facing the reality of my mistakes. If you
do not think waking up every morning and facing my reality is not a
consequence I do not know what is, I'd rather be in jail in the USA knowing
that my little daughter receives medical care, I will even sign up for
capital punishment if my kids and their mom could go back, but my crime was
to work for over 13 years without permission to do so. How do I explain
that to my US Citizen son? And by the way I am not a cook or a janitor or driver. I finished my MBA as Magna Cum Laude. Now you maybe wonder how many years and no work permit, well there is a lot of people whom acquired their
permits by lying I could not lie again; I do agree with Mrs. Mary Ann V.
Lopez May the Lord bless America and its people always; I am only receiving what I deserve, that is life.
