U.S. Border Closed for Salvadoran Soccer Star

<p dir="ltr">Lizandro Claros, a promising six-foot, 23-year-old center back, was called up to El Salvador’s national soccer team, but can’t play in the United States, where ‘La Selecta’ is competing in an international tournament this July. Lizandro arrived to the United States at age 10, in 2009, using a fake passport. He was deported in 2017, after informing authorities that he had earned a sports scholarship to go to college. Now he's waiting for the paperwork that allows him to move on with his dream. “There are many people who deserve a second chance,” he says.</p>
