Chicago Police Officer Hector Alfaro (click here) has lived in the United States since he was 3, when his parents moved from Mexico with three children in tow.

He joined the U.S. Marine Corps and then the Chicago Police Department. He had children, then grandchildren....


Children brought to the USA are important Americas. Hector Alfaro is an example of the outcome of years of service and pursuing the status of citizen. The country has benefitted by service of the Undocumented. Few talk about that. 

They might be deported, but, who is taking their place?
