The Immigrant's Story

Soledad Ramirez was about to file for bankruptcy when she received a letter from one of her former employees. He'd immigrated from Mexico decades before, cross the border illegally and brought his family with him. She paid him well, sponsored his citizenship,. And if you were living on that side of the border, wouldn't you jump it? So he writes her a letter: Oh, no, he became a gang member. His son Juan had been enrolled at the public high school. That's where he'd been killed. One of his classmates apparently had tried to recruit him into a gang. When he refused several of the gang members found him in the bathroom. They started punching him.
