I'm a migrant advocated and a dual U.S. / Guatemalan citizen. ... and a proud member for 1 year 2 weeks
I'm trying to change the tone of the immigration debate: from questions of Americanism to questions of global inequity, from questions of legality to questions of justice.

What a sad day.Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick, who was elected with a wave of hope, has turned his back on migrants.
Governor Deval Patrick has decided against taking action to allow illegal immigrants to pay resident tuition and fees at state colleges and universities this fall, an administration official said yesterday, crushing advocates who were counting on the governor to deliver on a pledge to support the students.
This is a sad day for hundreds of migrant youth, whose only hope to go to college this year was crushed.What makes this an even harder pill to swallow is that Patrick is turning his back on a promise he made during his campaign.
We will have in-state tuition for undocumented aliens when I am governor.Deval Patrick -
