I just ran across an article I originally wrote in 2002:

Immigration policy has long interested me, but I had forgotten this particular piece. In 2002 I became involved in helping a foreign student at Wofford College where my husband was a professor. It was I who brought the student’s plight to the attention of Congressman Joe Wilson who was able to help him gain legal status to stay in college and finish his degree. The article was written as an academic exercise for graduate students of public administration at North Georgia State College and University.
