Luiselli’s lawyer is a Spanish-speaking woman who helps Luiselli navigate the process of getting a green card. However, she eventually gives Luiselli’s case to one of her colleagues, changing jobs in order to work as an attorney advocating for undocumented child migrants. When she tells Luiselli why she’s leaving, Luiselli asks her if she knows any organizations that might be able to use her as a translator, since she too wants to help undocumented minors. Consequently, her lawyer refers her to someone at the American Immigration Lawyers Association, which then puts her in touch with The Door.
