Noe Guzman, along with Marie Gonzalez, are students in Missouri who would likely sway the vote of Democratic Senator Claire McCaskill in our favor.
Very sad situation.
This is just an observation I've made, but I find it a bit amusing that, prior to having knowledge of their illegal status, many undocumented minors tend to absorb and parrot an anti-immigration stance to various extents… because they're so Americanized and have a sense of patriotism, but are uninformed of the issues. Then, they're suddenly forced to do a 180 when confronted with the truth.
A part of me feels that, while being undocumented is an absolute nightmare, it also makes for interesting (and sometimes, even rewarding) life experiences and epiphanies, if you can live through it.
I think it supports the claim that the more our loved ones and friends know about our experiences, the more people realize what it is like to be undocumented, the more empathy and support for the cause we will gain. So it's important to share our stories and be 'out.'
I agree to IIIe.. Many Undocumented kids grow up Americanized 100% and often forget where and how they came from. I my self was brought here at the age of 3. I'm now 25 years , married (to a American citizen) and with 3 kids. sadly i'm still undocumented but being an "illegal alien" as only made me stronger in many ways. Being undocumented has closed many doors but i never stopped dreaming. Benign only 25 I have managed over 100 employees for a big wireless carrier here in the US. I now own my own business, but every night i sleep thinking of my miserly " being undocumented" I hope one day i get what i do not have!!! Help us all.
