(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'.

Our son was Valedictorian of his class. He didn’t get one red cent of scholarship money from anyone. In fact, we were told by one school: “There’s tens of thousands of Valedictorians in the US every year. It’s nothing special.”
I guess they’re right. He’s just a middle class white male. Nothing special...
Can you imagine what would happen to Socialism/Liberalism if students were actually educated?
Think the Daily mail has reporters in every small town in America? The picked up the story from numerous American sources. ABC and NBC have covered it, and there is a second HS valedictorian illegal announced the same day.
These were probably planned Journo-Lister events.
This bitch should be deported.
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
For every illegal valedictorian, I can post stories about 10 illegal-alien rapists, murderers and all around thugs.....It’s not even close.
She’s stealing some actual American kid’s future, and throwing it in our faces.
She should have kept it secret, like Obama
No, it’s just that, unlike the American media, they don’t have an agenda to push here.
Huh? what did I miss?
Everyone should ALWAYS agree with me!!! ;)
What a waste; if she’d only revealed her illegal status as a freshman, she could have made all honors all for years without ever attending school, and scored the scholarship as well.
SO SICK OF THIS BS!
She is exactly the kind of person Mexico will need in the future, and she sounds like she will be an asset to them.
I bet she never returns to that corrupt hell hole...unless she is deported.
...and she should be deported immediately.
If we were governed by the rule of law, rather than the rule of lawyers, she would be deported immediately. Do many illegal alien valedictorians in Mexico brag about their parents’ lawbreaking publicly?
Book her Danno.
Of course, it's over for this country.........
Funny how they all love to wave the Mexican flag, but suggest they go back there and they get upset.
It would be like an East German escaping to West Germany, but still waving around the East German flag.
There you are. The money shot. Who DIDN’T get the Valedictory slot or the full-ride to Yale BECAUSE SHE DID?
