It is just another story of an immigrant who tries to live the American Dream. Oscar Ayala-Cornejo came to the United States with his family in 1991 to the city of Milwaukee.Being inspired by law enforcement speaker that visited his high school one day. Ayala-Cornejo decided to pursue that career at the age of 15. A big part in his decision was the neighborhood he was growing up in and the want to do good in his community.
As Oscar had decided to pursue this career his father explained to him that the only way he could become a police officer was if he went back to Mexico and applied for citizenship to the country. It was the first time that the issue was brought to him of being illegal in the country. His father wanting to support his son then spoke to his sister and they came up with the idea that Oscar could use the identity of his cousin Jose who had died at the age of 7, due to stomach cancer. This event changed Oscars life.
Oscar and his family preceded with this plan and Oscar changed his name to Jose. From there on he changed his whole image, changed schools, birthday, and treated his immediate family as aunts, uncles, and cousins.
The plan worked and let Oscar into the law enforcement field after graduating high school. Oscar was a police officer of good who did good deeds by the book. Later his younger brother, who was a U.S. born, also was a police officer and worked under the same district as Oscar.
On May 31 Oscar was arrested by two officers who eventually took him to INS and now is facing court with one year in federal prison or probation. Oscar was charged with falsely representing himself to be a citizen. "Assistant U.S. Attorney Mel Johnson said Ayala's position gave him access to weapons and confidential information, although there was no indication he had abused either privilege."
Oscar is now being deported to Mexico and his brother has been fired from his job for retaining information.
