At age 5, Angelica Salas crossed the border illegally with her 14-year-old aunt to rejoin her parents. On one failed attempt to cross the border, she was apprehended by border authorities. Today, as executive director for the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights of Los Angeles, Salas educates the public on issues affecting immigrants. A leading spokesperson on federal immigration policy, she helped win in-state tuition for undocumented immigrant students and established day laborer job centers that serve as a model for the rest of the nation.
