His father, the late-U.S. Sen. Pete Domenici, once disclosed a painful immigrant past.
Domenici said she came to the U.S. when she was 3 years old and lived in New Mexico. He said he was a child when authorities took her away in a black car in the early 1940s.
He didn't say why she had been deemed an "illegal alien." Many Italian immigrants weren't considered as such if they entered the U.S. before 1920, when the federal government introduced quotas. "They decided she had to be arrested because she was an illegal alien. So, sure enough, they came to do that and a neighbor had to come over to take care of us kids. I was about 9 or 10. I was pretty frightened," he said during his speech, delivered during debate over an immigration bill.Courtney Holland, did not immediately respond to an email, a phone message or a text message.
Cortez Masto is the nation's only Latina senator and she's made defending young immigrants known as DREAMers key to her campaign.
