What is the quote that you are responding to?
In the documentary film, Undocumented: a film by an undocumented American, Jose Antonio Vargas states that their mission is to “heighten awareness and increase understanding of the plight of undocumented immigrants, achieve political consensus that undocumented immigrants are inexorably part of America’s future; and secure a pathway to citizenship for undocumented immigrants” (Vargas).
What are the issues being raised and why are they issues?
Jose Vargas is an immigrant who migrated here when he was twelve from the Philippines, he worked towards his American dream and it was all taken away from him by one question he was asked by Mark Zucherberg, creator of Facebook, “Jose, where are you from?” simply five words took all of the “success” Jose Vargas had, which in turn made him spark a revolution bringing awareness to the American people that they are not illegal aliens they are human beings just like those who are pointing fingers. The issues brought to people’s attention are that they are here illegally, do not pay taxes or contribute to society, and do not have intentions of becoming legal citizens.
Who is saying what about it?
Under president Obama’s cabinet they created The Dream Act which states, “The California Dream Act is the name given to Assembly Bills 130 & 131, which allows some undocumented students to apply for and receive state-based financial aid and institutional scholarships. The 2011 passage of AB 130 & 131 symbolizes a milestone victory for undocumented students and allies who organized and advocated for increased access to college. Now that the California Dream Act is a reality, let’s make it a success!” (E4FC) California being a liberal state, it tends to try and create equal opportunity for all of those inside the state as in the civil liberties of the United States of America intended. This raises a lot
