I like this letter from Elizabeth to her aunt Tia. It's touching, and gives us a personal story that is easily lost in the debate about immigration policy. The piece is just the right length, it's not overdone, but still gives us a touching story about what a niece would give to her aunt.
This also gives us the perspective of youth - something else that we don't always hear in stories about immigration.
This will make a good drop-in for a magazine or local talk show.
