Jose Antonio Vargas, the Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and activist who in 2011 revealed that he unknowingly entered the U.S. with false documents as a child, will publish his debut memoir with HarperCollins imprint Dey Street Books.
Vargas' book will be titled “Dear America: Notes of an Undocumented Citizen.”
Vargas, a member of the team that earned a Pulitzer for reporting on the Virginia Tech shooting for the Washington Post in 2008, was born in the Philippines, where he lived until he was 12. In 1993, he moved to the United States to live with his American grandparents, initially unaware that he was living in the country illegally.
He disclosed his immigration status in 2011, writing in an essay for the New York Times Magazine, "I am still an undocumented immigrant. And that means living a different kind of reality. It means going about my day in fear of being found out. It means rarely trusting people, even those closest to me, with who I really am. ... It means reluctantly, even painfully, doing things I know are wrong and unlawful.”
Vargas has directed two documentaries: "Documented," about his own story as an undocumented immigrant, and "White People," a 2015 film about the impact of white privilege.

Despicable filth calling himself a citizen and demeaning our nation
It’s part of their relentless campaign to dominate and rule the gringos who they think are weak
That’s why we should NEVER allow amnesty
They aren’t grateful, only filled with contempt that we would be so submissive
>rule the gringos who they think are weak<
We are weak.
But there’s hope.
THE WRATH OF THE AWAKENED SAXON
by Rudyard Kipling
It was not part of their blood,
It came to them very late,
With long arrears to make good,
When the Saxon began to hate.
They were not easily moved,
They were icy — willing to wait
Till every count should be proved,
Ere the Saxon began to hate.
Their voices were even and low.
Their eyes were level and straight.
There was neither sign nor show
When the Saxon began to hate.
It was not preached to the crowd.
It was not taught by the state.
No man spoke it aloud
When the Saxon began to hate.
It was not suddently bred.
It will not swiftly abate.
Through the chilled years ahead,
When Time shall count from the date
That the Saxon began to hate.
The liberals gave us ‘zero tolerance’ which ruined the lives of countless children doing innocuous things like chewing breakfast pastries into thoughtcrime shapes. In keeping with the spirit of their efforts, this Vargas person should be immediately detained, jailed, fined, and eventually deported. The end.
Get the violins ready for this lawbreaking child of lawbreakers.
“Laws? We don’ need no steenkin’ laws!”
How long have we heard the mantra “go after their employers “? Why did his employers skate for knowingly hiring an illegal immigrant?
I cannot stand this person. He always looks like he’s got a hot poker up his rear.......so condescending and pompous too.......yuck!
Of course, ICE is nowhere to be found.
Let him write it from jail waiting deportation or once deported. He is illegal alien and doesn’t hide it. Arrest and deport him now!
They have been misreporting the North Hollywood shootout for decades
- those were undocumented millionaires, not bank robbers.
He sounds like the kind of person we could welcome; but he is illegal so scram! And BTW someone please see if he has registered and voted somewhere so we can lock him up.
He can write just as well from the Philippines, and his paycheck would go a lot farther. Ship him out.
