The nightmare that resulted in Jaime Avalos being stuck in Mexico and away from his family for months is finally over.
It was discovered that following his initial entry to the U.S. as an infant, Avalos was taken to Mexico, at which time his birth was registered in Oaxaca, Green said. Then, he returned to the U.S. permanently.
In the past six months, Congressman Green made it a personal mission to bring Avalos back. Green introduced a private bill to the House of Representatives back in November, asking for permanent resident status for Avalos. Green, who would like for Congress to pass comprehensive immigration reform, realizes bringing home Avalos doesn't change the broken immigration system.As we walked back over the bridge to American soil, we asked Avalos how he felt."Since they denied it, what, six months ago," he explained, worried he might have to wait the full 10 years, as many others have.
