I came to the country illegally with my mother, as she fled the effects of the Nicaraguan civil war (Iran/Contra related), when I was 3 years old. We jumped back and forth between Texas and Mexico 3 times. I like to say I'm 4 times illegal (Honduras, Guatemala, Mexico, USA) and then kept doing it afterward. In the early 2000's we were granted amnesty as part of a larger Nicaraguan-focused program. We'd been here for ~20 years. No way to proceed other than living in the shadows. Anything to help people better themselves, I'm all for it!
