RESCUING JORGE
This is the story of Jorge... a Guatemalan boy who was denied
the right to live with his parents in the United States, although
he was born in a South Florida Hospital.
A flaw in the United States Immigration system denied him to enter
the country; He lived practically all of his childhood with his
grandfather in the small town of San Juan Ixcoy in Guatemala.
Mariela Salgado investigated Jorge's case and with the help of
Congresswoman Ileana Ross-Lehtinen, it was finally proven that
the 12 year-old boy was a U.S. citizen.
A news team from "Sin Fronteras", led by Salgado, traveled
to San Juan Ixcoy, in the mountains of Huehuetenango to bring
Jorge back to his parents who anxiously waited for him in Florida.
Since that area in the Guatemalan mountains is considered a "danger
zone", the reporter was escorted by bodyguards.
The investigation lasted several months, but Jorge was finally
reunited with his family in Florida.
