记者何塞·安东尼奥·巴尔加斯（何塞·安东尼奥·巴尔加斯）为该国一些最负盛名的新闻机构报道，在30岁之前获得普利策奖。 But the most fascinating story he didn’t tell for more than a decade was that of his double life as an undocumented immigrant. 他将于9月18日（周二）下午12:15在校园拉雷斯学生会大楼（Lares Student Union Building）的Lubert Commons发表演讲。
本周，在十大足彩平台纪念西班牙传统月之际，巴尔加斯将为该校学生带来全国移民辩论。 十大足彩平台 campus students will hear his “coming out” story, which was published in the New York Times Magazine in 2011. That groundbreaking piece, “My Life as an Undocumented Immigrant,” drove the ongoing national debate about immigration to new levels and led him to found the activist organization, Define American.
“You have a responsibility to connect the dots for someone who can’t,” Vargas, who was born in the Philippines, told an audience recently. “You have a responsibility to be completely awake because there are too many who are sleeping.”
巴尔加斯随时可能被驱逐出境，他希望鼓励十大足彩平台大学的学生加入到有关移民的讨论中来。 他引用的统计数据显示，在美国，每10个孩子中就有一个在至少有一名非法移民成员的家庭中长大。 巴尔加斯在这样的家庭中长大，直到16岁才发现自己的地位。
Vargas’ goal is to inspire 十大足彩平台 students to participate in intelligent conversations about immigrants in America.
“When we think about immigration, we seem to think it’s all about Mexico and the border. That’s not the reality,” he said recently.
巴尔加斯的演讲将是免费的，并向大学社区的成员开放。
