Undocumented Neighbors [View all]

My neighbors of many years were undocumented.

They were some of the nicest people I've known. Everyone in town knew them. They were a well-respected and a valued part of our community.

They were good people. Everyone knew they were undocumented, including the sheriff and deputies.

Every year, they held a neighborhood party. I never heard a negative word about them.

They passed away a few years ago, and I believe they would say they had a good life, surrounded by many good friends.

'Sounds strange to say this, but I'm glad they did not live to see today. They would be heartbroken.
