On Monday, January 23rd, Jose Arreola, E4FC's Outreach
Manager, was featured on Marketplace from American Public Media. His
commentary begins "We had to decide whether we
were going north or south to get into California. My friend decided it
would be best to go south to avoid the big snow storm up north. But
south would take us through Arizona. I really really didn't want to go
through Arizona. I got more and more nervous. I felt paralyzed. My
friend kept asking me what my problem was. Finally I told him: I'm
undocumented.n a cross-country drive, Jose Arreola must tell a close
friend his deepest secret -- he's undocumented." Listen.
