Meet one of the few undocumented students in the US who has gotten a Ph.D.

Wow, an actual story of somebody living the American dream. A lot of anger from Americans who are upset that somebody broke a law in the process: I’m yet to see an American give back the wages they earned for being on time when you know they broke the speed limit to make it to work on several occasions. Should her family have crossed the border; no, but they are here now, and they have something to offer the United States. It may seem fair to say that everyone without papers should have to leave, but fair and just are sometimes different things. Expecting a five-year-old to not follow her parents, and stay in Mexico alone seems ridiculous, and then punishing her 26-year-old self with a 10-year ban prior to reentry seems childish.

Is she here on a visa? DACA? She should be deported if not. Then again, the laws don't matter anymore

Now she can go and contribute in her own country. She can be the catalyst in her country to make it a better place.
