Retired to TX. which is a border state and was immediately confronted with the immigration problem.Found it amazing that the same journey has been taken by so many for over 30 years, with little change, and felt the story needed to be told to the younger generation, as one day, it will be a big part of their history.My story , Alfredo's journey, ends happily, but they don't all. Read it and ponder the future.
