Jose Antonio Vargas Responds To Donald Trump’s Immigration Plan Alex Bregman Just one day after Donald Trump released his plan on immigration reform, a major voice in the undocumented community, Jose Antonio Vargas, talked to Yahoo News and Finance Anchor Bianna Golodryga on “Yahoo News Live.” Vargas expressed his frustration with Trump’s plan, of which he said, “Donald Trump’s policy is self-deprecation 2.0.”

Vargas arrived in the U.S. from the Philippines in 1993 when he was 12 years old. He revealed his status as an undocumented immigrant in a Time magazine essay in 1999. Vargas qualifies under the expansion of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, one of President Obama’s most recent immigration executive orders —something Trump would reverse.

Why wasn't he arrested and deported at that point?

A media “somebody” has “something” to say- why should I care?

I was expecting that ‘Hitler in the bunker’ film clip and an disappointed it was something sillier.

Funny how other countries have strict laws enforcing immigration but when anyone in the U.S. looks to protect it’s borders it’s wrong.

Try to get into Mexico illegally. See how that goes.

And he worked for a bunch of media giants since then. Why didn’t they go after his employers like they all talk about doing.

Jose Antonio Vargas

I think it's wonderful that he has self identified. It save a lot of work for later.

He has turned himself in and this is what happened...

Upon Vargas’s release, U.S. Customs and Border Protection Agency released the following statement:

U.S. Customs and Border Protection, U.S. Border Patrol Agents operating at McAllen-Miller International Airport encountered Mr. Vargas and apprehended him after he stated that he was in the country illegally. Mr. Vargas was transported to the McAllen Border Patrol Station where he was processed and provided with a Notice to Appear before an immigration judge. He was released on his own recognizance after consultation with Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

Mr. Vargas has not previously been arrested by ICE nor has the agency ever issued a detainer on him or encountered him. ICE is focused on smart, effective immigration enforcement that prioritizes the agency’s resources to promote border security and to identify and remove criminal individuals who pose a threat to public safety and national security.

FU Vargas!

If you had any honor at all you’d go back to your country of origin to celebrate it there, not here.

You will never be an American, no matter how many lies the media and politicians spout.

Just maybe Trump could be something ‘out there’ to bring the other Candidates out to show how shallow they are...

He isn't going to show his hand until later, this is all talk to show us who is what and where....

He's a businessman, and they hold close to the vest until it's time, and then they knock their completion off their feet....
