(Full Headline) Texas high school valedictorian bound for Yale on a full scholarship reveals she is an illegal immigrant in her graduation speech

A Texas high school valedictorian has revealed she is an illegal immigrant in her graduation speech.

Larissa Martinez told classmates at McKinney Boyd High School that she was one of the 11million undocumented citizens living in the United States after she fled her abusive and alcoholic father in Mexico.

The 18-year-old, who has been offered a full scholarship to Yale, said she decided against giving her classmates the 'traditional Hallmark version' of the speech and instead opted for the truth.

The teenager told the crowd of thousands: 'Immigrants, undocumented or otherwise, are people too'.

'We are here without documentation because the US immigration system is broken and forces many families to live in fear.'

She also used the speech to slam Donald Trump's plans to build a wall based on 'hate and prejudice'.

You're here without documentation because your families have no respect for US law, and because a string of US politicians have deliberately refused to abide by the oath they took and have deliberately refused to enforce US immigration law.

You shouldn't be here at all.

Sounds like she’s already been subjected to four years of an Ivy League education.

this illegal alien tart is a LIAR !!!

I’m an immigrant and I have not “lived in fear” for a moment in the 45 years I have been in this country...

If illegal aliens are so “fearful” why don’t they flee for their lives out of this dangerous country back to their own safe space/haven home country..

11million undocumented citizens

What is an "undocumented citizen"? Is that yet another special class of illegal alien?

What to slap everyone in the face with that info, girl!

If EVERY illegal alien was a class valedictorian, we would not be having the issue with an influx or rapists and murderers, would we?

Everyone knows that illegal aliens are a lot smarter than American gringo kids. If you don’t, just listen to the DNC toads in the DNC’s national “media”.

Yes, she’s a valedictorian alright. She’ll cheat at Yale just like she cheated to get into the country and just like she probably cheated to get grades in high school. She’s the Cheater Valedictorian.”

What a liar.....she lied and lied. The border jumpers are here for political reasons.....to specifically carry out the foreign policy of the Mexican govt.

One Mexicano publicly bragged about the La Raza group advancing the foreign policy objectives of Mexico. Mexico apparently ordered Hispanics:

<><> to takeover California,

<><> to takeover all of the state’s governmental institutions,

<><> to expel American citizens back to Europe.

The MSM failed to report the inflammatory statements of founder, Mario Obledo, advocating the overthrow of the US government.

================================================

I suggest Donald make an even stronger response to the Latino conspiracies against him. Trump needs to run w/ this.

A provision in the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) is intended to prevent United States citizens and companies being used as instrumentalities of a foreign government's foreign policy.

CASE IN POINT The Hispanic Bar Association is advocating an economic boycott of Trump companies...in order to stop Trump

Of course, being Hispanic, these people have no knowledge of US law. But this action places the latino lawyers and their organization in serious legal jeopardy.

NOTE WELL The Hispanic lawyers' boycott is clearly intended as an expression of protest for purely political reasons.......involving the interests of the foreign country of Mexico to which they swear allegiance .

In the United States, the anti-boycott provisions of the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) apply to all "U.S. persons" (defined to include individuals and companies located in the United States and their foreign affiliates).

The provisions are intended to prevent United States citizens and companies being used as instrumentalities of a foreign government's foreign policy.

These persons are subject to the law when their activities relate to the sale, purchase, or transfer of goods or services (including the sale of information) within the United States or between the United States and a foreign country.

This covers exports and imports, financing, forwarding and shipping, and certain other transactions that may take place wholly offshore.....AND/OR ACROSS THE BORDER.

==========================================

MEMO TO DONALD: this could also apply to Hillary's activites at the State Dept---using her tax-paid office to advance the foreign policy of foreign govts....for a fee.

Remember, the Export Administration Regulations (EAR)is intended to prevent United States citizens and companies being used as instrumentalities of a foreign government's foreign policy..

This clearly describe Hillary's activities at the State Dept.
