Our Mission
HELP ONE MILLION PEOPLE GAIN RESIDENCY IN THE USA
The Statue of Liberty was made to welcome immigrants to the United States of America
On its base are etched these words:
“Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free…”
Our ancestors were allowed to come to the United States of America and worked to help build this country in the distant and recent past. Our immigrant ancestors did not destroy America but instead built it up. The immigrants who come to this country today bring their work ethic and their faith in God and family values and bless our country helping make it the great place it is today.
Attorney Alma Mills has many immigrant ancestors. Here are the stories of 2 of them.
From Ireland
My 2nd Great Grandparents William C and Margaret Kinzey Mills were born in Ireland in the early 1800’s. Their family suffered like so many others of the time due to the great Ireland potato famine between 1845 to 1849. Over a million people starved to death during that time. Learn More His family struggled to have enough to eat, they decided to come to America to seek a way to better survive and provide for their families. Many our clients at Mi Sueño Americano today are going through devastating financial hardships in their own countries due to political unrest, gang violence and corruption.
From England
My 10th Great Grandparents were William & Mary Brewster from England. Learn More They were not allowed to practice their religion and were persecuted and prosecuted for their religious beliefs in their home country. William was the religious leader of Puritans that sailed on the Mayflower and came to America. He had been arrested because of his beliefs and the books that he had been publishing about his Christian Faith. He was one of the first English settlers to arrive in the United States. They were welcomed by some of the existing population and were helped to survive by the kindness of Native Americans who lived in the area. Many of our clients at Mi Sueño Americano are fleeing persecution like my ancestor William Brewster. These immigrants deserve a place of refuge just like my ancestors received over 400 years ago.
