Isaac Jr. sits in disbelief with Patty Fenimore, his Guardian Ad Litem, after the ruling that he can begin the paperwork for his United States citizenship, while his friends and caretakers celebrate in the 2nd District Juvenile Court in Ogden on May 12.

Fighting to become an American citizen

OGDEN -- Birthright shouldn't preclude a bright future. This is the sentiment of many who have helped put Isaac Jr., an illegal immigrant, on the path to lawful permanent residency in the hopes of gaining citizenship.

(KRISTIN HEINICHEN/Standard-Examiner) Isaac Jr. visits with his father, Isaac Sr., at the Weber County Jail before Isaac Sr. is sent back to Mexico.

Expected step: Son keeps going

OGDEN -- At 6, his father taught him to cook. At 9, he learned to box. At 14, he held odd jobs, so at 16, when he was suddenly on his own, Isaac Jr. had no reservations about fending for himself.
