Congressman Salud Carbajal is a naturalized U.S. citizen. He was born in Moroleón, Mexico, in 1964, and immigrated to the United States with his family at the age of five. He applied for U.S. naturalization in 1985 and became a U.S. citizen in 1990.
He could have benefitted from Reagan’s amnesty law in 1986. It’s not clear. He did serve in the US Marines honorably according to all sources.
At least 40% of 1986amnesty applications were fraudulent....
What’s in dispute is whether the family entered the country illegally.
