Illegal Immigrant Pushes For Immigration Reform in Campus Speech
America is becoming “browner, more Asian, and gayer,” and now more than ever is the time to lobby hard for massive immigration reform, the so-called most famous illegal person in America told a group of CU Boulder students during a recent guest appearance.
Jose Antonio Vargas, a prominent journalist who recently outed himself in high-profile national magazines as an undocumented worker, said in his mid-December speech at the campus that “as immigration reform heats up, we will need … voices. We need American citizens coming out and speaking up.”
In a speech that aimed to justify and almost glamorize illegal immigration, Vargas noted “the great thing is there are so many undocumented young people” leading the charge for immigration reform. He called on CU Boulder students to join that cause.
“The ball is in your court,” he said, telling students to contact lawmakers and demand immigration reform.
Vargas noted the “country is getting browner, more Asian, and gayer,” and conservatives and Republicans must accept that. He said the tide is in the favor of those who seek to open the borders, especially after the November election.
“Every thirty seconds a Latino turns eighteen, it becomes a vote,” he said. “President Obama would not have won if it wasn’t for the Latino vote. Period. If it wasn’t for Latinos in Colorado, Florida, and Virginia, it would have been over. Mitt Romney would have won. President Obama will make sure that immigration reform happens in the future.”
Asked how to handle those who see the issue differently, Vargas said “conservative, white Americans have a language of their own and are not on the train and don’t fit in the equation.”
