An 18-year-old is dead after he reportedly took his own life outside Mission Friday night.
Family of Joaquin Luna told Action 4 News the teen left behind suicide letters explaining he took his own life, because he was an illegal immigrant and would never be able to attend college because of it.
Family said Friday night the teen dressed up in a suit and tie, kissed them, then went into the restroom and shot himself in the head.

Leveraging your dead son for political reasons?
Classy.
Sad. It appears he believed the propaganda from the left.
HOGWASH and HORSE HOCKEY!!! This was in Texas and we have the DREAM ACT so illegals can attend state universities and pay in-state tuition.
How sad. I guess no one told him he could go for free in California, no problem.
He could have also gone back to Mexico they have many colleges.
I don’t get it. He lives in Texas. Not only could he have gone to college, he could’ve gotten in-state tuition rates at the taxpayer’s expense.
I certainly hope the parents who brought these innocent children here take notice of this and return home before their kids do the same thing.
People kill themselves for stupid reasons all the time.
I don’t know how long it takes to go from illegal to legal to American, though I can’t imagine that it takes more than five years for the diligent.
He would have been 23 and attending for a good two years.
He could have gone to college in Mexico. What a lame excuse. I don’t believe it.
Posterboy for the anti-American Marxist left in 5...4...3...2...1...
One of Lunas older brothers said the teen would often get frustrated when filling out the immigration status section in college applications.
Umm...this has to be the worst reason EVER for taking ones own life (not that there are any good reasons). I would say “shame on all of you” for using this troubled kids death for political spin. If anything his parents should feel very bad for entering this country illegally and rolling the dice on how it would impact their children.
Sorry the kid offerd himself.....suicide is always a terrible waste of life
Too bad he bought all the libtard taking points
They are trolling for a lawsuit...they want calls from attorneys. THE USA has lots of money. They want some.
I must be misunderstanding something here. Illegals CAN go to college in Texas. They even get in state tuition! This article is a huge LIE, OR the kid killed himself over something that wasn’t even true. He probably heard it on PMSNBC.
Why would he get frustrated with filling out an English appliction, if he’d been learning the language in school for the previous 12 years?
Rick Perry even gave you a discount to college, kid. Are you not paying attention??
Someone that dumb probably wouldn’t have survived in the wild long anyways.
Honest, truly.
Oh, boo friggin’ hoo.
Just curious, but what if he would have stayed in Mexico and killed himself there for the same reasons? Would anybody give a rat’s ass? Would it even be new worthy there?
Those are rhetorical questions because we all know the answer is “NO”.
Sorry, but no tears are being shed for Senior Luna out here in California. We already have quarter of Mexico’s population living here, going to school, living in Section 8 housing, getting tax refunds, free medical care, food stamps, WIC, and damn every other government benefit on our dime. I don’t give a sh!t.
Just one less, free-loading, self-entitled illegal alien to worry about. Now, if we could just get the other 20 million illegal aliens to either do the same thing or self-deport back to the hell-holes that spawned them.
Final question: If Mexico is such a great place, why don’t these poor illegal aliens go back there and fight for the entitlements, rights, priveledges and benefits they demand from us here in the USA?
