According to an article in the New York Times, Cesar Vargas, an immigrant who illegally crossed the border, was sworn in as a member of the New York Bar. He had a very difficult path and he finally made it. He must have struggled a lot. Now he must be careful to protect his law license.
See story here....http://www.nytimes.com/2016/02/04/nyregion/immigrants-4-year-legal-fight-to-become-a-lawyer-ends-in-celebration.html?rref=collection%2Fsectioncollection%2Fnyregion&action=click&contentCollection=nyregion®ion=rank&module=package&version=highlights&contentPlacement=5&pgtype=sectionfront&_r=0
I was a lawyer too. I was born in a foreign country but obtained citizenship at birth. My path was different than Mr. Vargas. I was corrupted by my clients and in the end of the day, I was thrown into prison like the biggest criminal in the world, disbarred and heavily fined. At least now I am out of prison and I have the freedom to write, thanks to google and other platforms. I hope my writing is a message of hope to all and that we all deserve a second chance as we are all human, from the same planet earth.
