*Palomino is believed to have entered the United States in 2014, as an "unaccompanied minor," according to an anonymous source.
So if he's not an illegal alien when do you take down this post? This kid wasn't an unaccompanied minor because, his mother birthed him here in California. Your Anonymous source is incorrect. This website should do a little more digging before you post. Especially when it comes to a minor.
