As an immigrant I have heard stories similar to the ones Jose describes, both from the parents’ and children’s perspectives. I kept waiting to hear more about Jose’s experience. Having so many different characters was a bit overwhelming, but they help emphasize the scope of the problem. A more descriptive script would strengthen the narration, frame the actualities better, and give it a more polished feel. Jose started with a light, almost humorous tone before he hit us with the tear jerking quote from Teresa Vazquez, and then concluded on a hopeful note. This piece illustrates the realities of the immigration process, and should be aired, not only in Washington D.C. where politicians can hear it, but all across the nation.
