Immigrant of the Day: Francisco Ortiz (Mexico)

The Cincinnati Enquirer provided us with today’s Immigrant of the Day.  Brandon Ortiz, the 18-year-old son of a Mexican immigrant, had the task of choosing to attend college at Harvard, Yale, Princeton or Columbia.  Brandon learned Spanish from his father, Francisco Ortiz, who came to the United States when he was 8 and became a naturalized citizen in 1985. He works as a facilities engineer at a Ford Motor Co. plant.

Brandon Ortiz selected Harvard because of its Romance Languages program.
