Another Undocumented Student

This article was basically another example to the topics our speaker brought up today during his speech. Congress needs to do something about the DREAM act so that all the illegal immigrants that had no other choice but to come to the US with their parents can receive an education and live the lives they were looking for when they came to America. I comment from the speaker we had today that really shocked me was that 30 percent of the tuition we pay in public colleges goes to financial aid that undocumented students cannot obtain due to their lack of documents. In the particular case of this article, the UW student was able to get an extension on his deportation to see if he could obtain a permanent resident status or any other way to receive legal residency in the US.
