Between a rock and a hard place.
Today I had lunch with a young lady my company just hired. She is 22 years old, and alone at age 18 she walked her a$$ out of Iran into Turkey. Worked in a Sheraton as a housekeeper to save enough money to come to the US on a Religious Asylum thing. She apparently is of a small Persian sect (dont recall the name, starts with a K I think) that really gets the short end in Iran. She got to CA at 19, speaking only Farsi. Got a job at a Jamba-Juice to pay for rent and ESL classes. Worked her way into a GED program and is now working for us full time, owns a car, rents an appt. and is attending Santa Jose State at night.

Just thought I'd share that.

That is a great story.

So I'm assuming this is an argument for allowing more legal immigration from Mexico?
