(More "We Are America" videos at http://weareamericastories.org)
Carlos Roa was brought to the United States by his family when he was only 2 years old. He now studies architecture at Miami Dade College but has been unable to pursue other dreams -- such as joining the military -- because of his status as an undocumented immigrant. His mother died from a 10-year battle with cancer in 2006, and he has continued her legacy by fighting for the DREAM Act and immigration reform. Earlier this year he was one of four students who walked 1500 miles to Washington DC as part of the Trail of Dreams.
Undocumented immigrant is to illegal alien as unsolicited sex is to rape.
Boo fucking hoo!

If half of the people who respond bad about this video had the courage to better their life the way this men did, America would be so much better. Undocumented students fight for their dreams, for their education, they go against the odds, they prove to be fighters, to have goals to be determined to do something good, to have ambitions, they don't give up on the obstacles they face, they work hard. I wish more people could at least try to be as strong and dedicated as they are!

True! Undocumented (illegals) are part of NORTH America. Unfortunately there are no LAWS for North America. They lose!

Illegal is an "adjective". It describes them. They are "ILLEGAL".

@LameBrainMcCain So you are NOT American?

@LameBrainMcCain Undocumented is right. Illegal is an action, but their status is undocumented.
