At the time, she was a 23-year-old single mother of two young children, and her husband had left them.  As with many place in Mexico, Jalisco had a lot of poverty and this woman was struggling to provide for her kids.  Her sister had immigrated to the U.S. several years prior, and had started a Mexican restaurant in Columbus, Ohio.  The young mother joined her sister, worked hard in the restaurant, learned the business, and eventually opened her own restaurant in a small town in Northwest, Ohio.  It&#8217;s a great restaurant.  Her business employs a number of local people.  And she is active in her church and the community.  In other words, she&#8217;s been a real gift to our country.  <strong>Note:<\/strong>  As I write this, Trump is saying our country is &#8220;full.&#8221;  My take is, it isn&#8217;t.  And, in fact, we could use a lot more people like this woman.
