DACA Recipients Adonis Flores and Myreya Quintero Orozco appear on A Matter of Interpretation

NEW YORK - Sept. 28, 2015 - PRLog -- On A Matter of Interpretation Sunday September 27, 2015 host Claudette Milner introduced her audience to the faces of immigration.

Ms. Milner had this to say about the series. "When the subject was placed in my spirit I did not know alot about the immigration process. When I spoke to Adonis he gave me a quick lesson on some of the issues. He suggested I invite Diego Bonesatti, legal advisor for MIUnited,. The series then began to take shape. I knew I needed to put some faces to the issue so that others could understand what I now understand. Although progress has been made we must have immigration legislation now. Tommorrow is not soon enough."

I could tell you their story but hear it from their lips.
