FULL TITLE: 'I'm an American Without Documentation': The Trials and Tribulations of an Undocumented College Student
Originally from a small town in Nayarit, Mexcio, Nestor Gomez always had a passion for a career in Engineering that is deeply rooted in his love for the environment.
In most ways, Nestor is like any other college student. However, Nestor is a very ambitious individual. Nestor Gomez is an undocumented immigrant.
The Pew Hispanic Center estimates that 1.5 million undocumented students currently reside in the United States. Of those students, approximately 765,000 arrived in the United States before turning sixteen.
On June 15, 2012, Nestor's situation drastically changed for the better.
President Obama created a new policy calling for deferred action for undocumented youth who came to the United States as children. Individuals who have deferred action status are provided with two years of protection from deportation for childhood arrivals, a work permit and a social security number.
"I don't want to go back to Mexico. I have already adopted America as my country," said Nestor. "In a sense, I'm an American without documentation."

I detect a flaw in your thinking, Nestor, buddy.
Mexico has no engineering schools? Hard to believe.
The logic is flawless — America must provide total amnesty for 30 million illegal immigrants, because there’s this one engineering student, see, and he’s a nice guy, you know, and, well, he’s kind of getting a raw deal ... and ... anyway. how about that amnesty???
Illegal isn’t a race, it’s a crime.
If the kid considers himself to be an American then get in line and go through the naturalization process as millions have before him . Until then he’s an illegal alien breaking our country’s laws.
‘I’m an American Without Documentation’
There is a disturbance in the farce.
Define children
Actually, Mexico has some very good engineering schools. You just can’t go to them for free
Interesting. That would mean about 740,000 arrived in the U.S. after turning 16. What is their excuse?
'I'm a Criminal Trespasser Without Any Respect For Your Laws: The Story Of An Illegal Alien Parasite
And it costs the American taxpayers around $10,000 per year to educate those 1.5 million students.
He’s so patriotic because he’s answering the call by American industry that there just aren’t enough skilled workers in America to fill all of these empty positions that were opened after they laid-off hundreds of thousands of legal American citizens over 50 yo. Got to give Mexicans in-state tuition so America can fill that demand. Right.
EXCELLENT POINT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No effort by this guy was made to become legal. He just demands that status be given to him. Dude is importing the corruption from mexico. I have no sympathy for him.
I have a liberal stepdaughter who insists on calling these people undocumented workers or students. I'd love it if one day she gets a bill in the mail for her share of the cost of supporting these lawbreakers.
Still trying to peddle this crap after all the evidence that amnesty is an overwhelmingly unpopular idea.
Nestor needs to sign up for a course in logic. Or maybe Common Sense 101.
If we were going to deport 100 illegal alien criminals, drunk drivers and gang bangers I would not mind legalizing Nestor. But until then I don't care about ol Nestor
We need a lot more real deportations of criminals from the interior. Not from the border which are not real deportations. Those Mexicans are just caught and bussed back to Mexico 20 miles away.
IOW really gear up deportations of illegal alien drunk drivers, gangsters and criminals....Then I don't mind giving legal status to a decent number of students like Nestor
