I was born in in August 20, 1979 in Michoac\u00e1n, Morelia, Mexico to a single abusive alcoholic mother. I do not know who my real father is; his identity was never reveal to me! My mother abandoned me, along with an older brother when I was a baby, I do not recall how old I was.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">At about 3 years of age my three adult uncles began to molest and rape me. This rape and torture continued for years. I was a baby, a defenseless child and had no one that would protect me. I think my grandmother knew what was going on but what could she do? My grandmother is dead now taking all account of her involvement with her to her grave.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">At the age of 7 my mother came to my grandmother\u2019s house where I lived with her and many other cousins. One day she decided to smuggle me and my older brother into California. My mother was not alone in the smuggling operation she had help from a man that she identified as her husband.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">They smuggled us successfully into Oxnard. I have lived in Oxnard since I was 7 years of age. I attended Ramona Elementary, Frank and Fremont Jr. High and dropped out of Oxnard High School in the 10th grade.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Almost immediately after I was smuggled into Oxnard, California, \u201cmy step father\u201d began to force alcohol down my throat, rape and torture me.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">This continued for many years until he died.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">I believe that my mother knew what was going on but when I confronted her she denied involvement or complicity in the rape and torture. She call me a whore and that if anyone was at fault it was me for being a cheap slut that teased her husband into his sexual acts.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Before \u201cmy step father\u201d died, he and my mother tried to get me naturalized and we took a trip to Juarez, Mexico. For whatever reason my naturalization protocol ad application was never completed or processed\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">\u00a0This is how Julie X became a ghost, a slave, chattel, a sound bit, and a statistic to be used and manipulated by politicians, functionaries; as so many others millions of undocumented souls she was sucked into the black hole that characterizes our broken immigration system in the United States.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">But if nothing else Julie X is a fighter, the most courageous and most resilient human being I have ever known; she fought and prayed for a miracle!<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Today, June 12, 2016 Julie can take a deep breath and smile here prayers have been answered.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">After more than 30 years of living as a \u201cundocumented\u201d ghost without identity, Julie was provide the very vital and necessary certification of cooperation with local law enforcement documentation by Mr Michael Schwartz, Senior Assistant District Attorney with the Ventura County\u2019s District Attorney office.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">The certification of cooperation is the requisite legal document demanded by Homeland Security and the Department of Immigration Services when \u201cundocumented\u201d victims of certain crimes (in the case of Julie X it was rape) file for U-Visa consideration; a formal and legal process that if successful can grant the petitioner legal resident status in the United States.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Julie X\u2019s certification of cooperation document could not have been obtained without the tireless work of key community players in this human drama. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Dr Debbie De Vries and I met Julie X some 17 years ago in our work with acute at\u2013risk youth and their families that we conducted through our with the KEYS Leadership Academy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">We learned very early on in our relationship that Julie was undocumented and so began our 17 year struggle to get Julie her naturalization documentation.\u00a0 Since that time Julie X has become a single mother of two boys. \u00a0Julies has be fighting acute alcoholism for most of her adolescent and adult life.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Julie X got into trouble with the police on a number of occasions, all on drunk in public charges. She lost her kids to the system for a few years. Julie X had hit rock bottom; but she did not give up and she continued to fight her acute alcoholism and for reunification with her kids.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Ventura County Children Protective Services help Julie gain her sobriety, reunite with her children and in the process help her seek for the first time psychiatric help and she was diagnosis with acute PTSD and acute chemical addiction (alcoholism).\u00a0 Slowly Julie X. began arduous road to recover her humanity.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">In 2006, Julie filled an Oxnard Police Department report that she had been raped.\u00a0 The OPD investigated her allegation and arrested a suspect. The rapist was tried and convicted in Ventura County on rape charges later that year.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Grotesquely it was this rape that open the door for the U-Visa naturalization protocol to kick in.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">We had obtained the pro bono legal assistance of various attorney and requested all of the police reports from the OPD regarding the 2006 Rape crime committed against Julie. Initially the OPD denied providing Julie these vital police reports.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">This is when our local League of United Latin American Citizens&#8217; office became involved as civil rights advocates for Julie. It was through the influence and political connection that LULAC has in Ventura County that things begin to happen and happen quickly in Julie&#8217;s favor.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">LULAC officials, working closely with the Oxnard Police Department and various departments in the Ventura County government, and in particular with Human Social Services and the District Attorney\u2019s office, obtained the necessary legal and medical documentation and after an additional through review of Julie X\u2019s medical files.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">He is where Mr Michael Schwartz did something extraordinarily noble and just; he conducted a further review of Julie X\u2019s full and complete medical file. The compelling medical evidence was sufficient to alter his earlier denial and Julie X was finally granted the U-Visa certification of cooperation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Julie X and the Acuna Gallery at the Caf\u00e9 on A family would personally like to thank all of the many players involved in this successful community immigration action; in particular LULAC officials, the various departments of Ventura County government involved in this case, the Oxnard Police Department and the District Attorney office.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">It took Julie X more than 30 years to come out of the shadows, but she will the first to tell you it was worth the fight, she is now truly free to pursue her American Dreams!<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>For more information on Cafe on A:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:
