Hiding In America: For a child of illegal immigrants, life remains in the shadows.

In some ways, Cecilia Gomez lives the American dream.

In her early 20s, she’s risen to the ranks of manager at her job. She has the material trappings of a middle-class life: a car, a house, a cell phone with a sassy animal-print case and a wardrobe that looks like it jumped off the pages of an H&M catalog. Every few weeks, Gomez, who has long, black hair she wears straight and loose down her back, treats herself to a manicure. “The diva in me,â€

Gomez calls herself an American.

She can call herself a pink poodle. It doesn't make her one.

If I turned in a bank robber to our Crime Stoppers program, the police would be right there arresting him. So, ICE, I know where you can find an illegal alien invader.

These are the people that need to go home and help make things right in their own country.

Here we go again. I wish one of these little yellow facey guys had a yawning guy.

There should be articals about how american citizens are getting screwed by people like this for crying out loud she has a fake ss number and I'm sure it belongs to someone! Its amazing instead of trying to make a better life in their country they stole it here and expect to keep it! The best part is what they stole isn't good enough were supposed to give her more!

These stories are all bogus. It starts out with her being a manager, middleclass, has a car, a house, etc. Then it goes on to say she has to work 70 hour weeks at a fast food franchise with no overtime. So she is not considered a full time employee, but she is a manager? Out of her low paying jobs she is able to pay for school, have a house, a car and still support her parents.

She is using someone else's ssn, but says she is paying taxes using a ITIN.

Something smells with this whole story.

Hey I.C.E.... You got her name and address. Are you just gonna let her taunt you like that? This is really pathetic when they have the nerve to put their names out there.
