There are believed to be 11 million undocumented immigrants in the United States. We’re not always who you think we are. Some pick your strawberries or care for your children. Some are in high school or college. And some, it turns out, write news articles you might read. I grew up here. This is my home. Yet even though I think of myself as an American and consider America my country, my country doesn’t think of me as one of its own.
— My Life as an Undocumented Immigrant: Pulitzer Prize winning journalist Jose Antonio Vargas comes out as an illegal immigrant in NYT Magazine. (via: infinite hope)
