Carolyn Hileman - The Voice* | July 21, 2008

Crisostomo is an illegal immigrant. She came to America to earn money to support her three kids in Mexico, because there are simply too few jobs in her homeland, she said. Six months ago, when she was ordered to be deported, she sought refuge at her local church, Adalberto United Methodist Church on Chicago’s west side. She has a bedroom and shares a kitchen and said she is ready to stay “until there is immigration reform.”
