I think everybody could agree that our immigration system is broken. We have not told the truth about it.
From Jose Antonio Vargas
The fact of the matter is, this country is not going to deport 11 million undocumented immigrants. What are we supposed to do with them? What are we supposed to do with these kids?
I am not a lobbyist. I am not a political activist. I am not a leader, as far as I'm concerned.
I'm a journalist, and I'm a filmmaker. I have an organization that's all about telling stories.
I'm a gay, undocumented immigrant; I have to be optimistic.
I'm sure the president doesn't enjoy being called deporter-in-chief.
I wasn't supposed to be walking with Mark Zuckerberg. I wasn't supposed to be interviewing Romney's sons. Why was I doing it? Because I wanted to survive. I wanted to live. I wanted to earn what it means to be an American.
You have to do what you have to do. I wanted to work. I wanted to prove that I was worthy of being here... and I was gonna do whatever it took to prove that.
I think everyone deserves dignity.
You can call me whatever you want to call me, but I am an American. No one can take that away from me. No, no one can.
