Mario

This is the face of the real immigration story of America. Meet Mario, back in the U.S. from Guatemala. Mario is the son-in-law of Darlene, one of Tom's closest friends where she sometimes works. Mario's is a long, long story of the INCREDIBLE bureaucracy surrounding those who follow the rules, who move to America for a better life, who want to improve their lot in life.

Here is a question for those who would make immigration their main political message: Do you make your statements based on the thousands and thousands in the world seeking a better life, or do you focus on a single person, a single family who endure the endless bureaucracy and sacrifice to come here to WORK and be a productive citizen? The sacrifice this family endures is something most of us will never know.

Another story from this old planet.
