Ronald Bilbao turned 21 this year and this would be one birthday that he would remember forever, not because of the gift he received but because of what he gifted his parents.
A rising senior at UNC-Chapel Hill, Bilbao sponsored his parents to live legally in the United States. His parents were among the estimated 12 million illegal immigrants living in the United States, with no means to correct their immigration status, and the story had been the same for them since 1984. But some weeks back, they discovered that they were a part of a small group of illegal immigrants who can acquire citizenship in the US.
