Good shit brother! Those are the stories I like to hear.

Great story!
I don't recall hearing anything mentioned about how he earned legal status though.
I suspect it might have been through marriage(?..) Since they mentioned that his wife has seen him go through all that.
Anyways, good for him :)

Re: From illegal immigrant to brain surgeon.
 

I heard his story like 2 years ago. They missed some stuff. He didn't know English and had to learn it by taking night classes after working like 12 hrs a day. then in like 2 years he went on to college. He got legal status in 1987 when that amnesty was passed. Great story!

He is one of my inspirations. In 2008, NOVA Science NOW did a short episode on him. Here is the link if you want to know a bit more about his story
