Ana (Mexico): A Girl from Gail
Show Notes

Ana Arellanos was born in Mexico and came to Texas, undocumented, when she was five.  She grew up in Gail, a small town in West Texas.  Now, at age 34, she is a U.S. citizen and an immigration attorney.  She knows the system from both sides.  She wishes the whole country could be more like the tiny town that prepared her for U.S. success.
