Paper plays an outsized role in Amalia Rojas’ life. A lack of papers – or at least a lack of the right ones – diverted her college dreams when, at 18, she found out she hadn’t been born in the U.S. and didn’t have the legal status she needed to apply for financial aid.

Here is the way I look at, I move into someone's house, a nice one and don't have to worry about my needs being taken care of.

The girl was raised not knowing that her parents were in the country illegally. I'm sure it was a topic they didn't want to talk about and she probably never thought to ask.

Really, give me a break.
