Kick hm the helll out

 
Pulitzer-Prize winning journalist Jose Antonio Vargas reveals in The New
York Times Magazine that he's lived in the United States for nearly 20
years as an illegal immigrant.

Vargas writes that his Filipino mother sent him to live with his
grandparents--who were legally living in the Bay Area--when he was only
12 years old. He was placed on a plane with a man who he was told was
his uncle--in actuality, a "coyote," ie., a person who helps marshal
illegal immigrants across the U.S. border--and has never seen his mother
since.

When he was 16, Vargas writes, he applied for a driver's license and
discovered that his green card was fake. He spent the next 15 years
hiding his secret from friends, classmates, and employers, hoping that
some form of immigration reform would pass in the meantime and allow him
to live openly in the country.

"This deceit never got easier," he writes. "The more I did it, the more
I felt like an impostor, the more guilt I carried — and the more I
worried that I would get caught. But I kept doing it. I needed to live
and survive on my own, and I decided this was the way."

Now, Vargas is starting a campaign called Define American, where he's
spotlighting immigrants' stories.

 

Sorry, wrong group.

 

Interesting to see your true colours, mind.

A guy who knows he's illegal, doesn't do a thing about it and shoves it

Anyway, you want to get started on England's immigration issues?
