Alejandra Flores attended a protest in front of Westin LAX Friday with her daughter and her mother, who had recently become a U.S. citizen.

“It’s hard,” said salutatorian Mayah Flores, who plans to attend Cal State Long Beach as a liberal studies major, and then return to Maywood Academy as a teacher.

Beloved Los Angeles comedian Ken Flores died earlier this year, but not before giving audiences one final hearty laugh.
