NASHVILLE, Tenn.- A Middle Tennessee woman whose son died in a motor vehicle accident is working to change state laws regarding immigration.

In November 2006, Lyn Tsuji’s son, Alex Tsuji died in a car accident.

“We were just shopping for Thanksgiving, and I was buying them video games,” Tsuji said.

The family planned to have an all-night video marathon.

As they drove, another driver Mauricio Salazar crashed into their car. Police said he was driving while intoxicated and he was in the Unted States illegally.

She said she thinks about her son all the time.

“Every morning you have to wake up and I have to make peace that I won’t be seeing him anymore,” she said. “And when I go to sleep, I just hope God is keeping him well.”

Refusing to suffer quietly, Tsuji is going public with her private pain. She is pushing for change on Capitol Hill.
