Illegal Immigration In Eastern Carolina Part 1: Interview With An Illegal Immigrant

All this week WITN is investigating the impact of illegal immigration, beginning with the story of one illegal immigrant in eastern Carolina.

The illegal immigrant Dave Jordan interviewed didn’t want to be identified but he did want to tell his story. It started eleven years ago when he spent six hours on an illegal journey from Mexico into the united states. He says it was the only way for him to come to America. “We don’t really have any choice for that, we don’t have money, you try to make papers in Mexico you need to have money in the bank and we don’t have none of that stuff. You work a month in Mexico you make whatever you make a week here.”

The individual Dave talked with also has a brother and two cousins here illegally. It’s quite common in the neighborhood where they live, according to Anita Villeda who says, “Mostly everyone who lives out here are illegal.”"*
