Just because his school wasn't great, does not mean he did not excel. He stood head and shoulders above his fellow students, that shows a lot more than being very good at a school where everyone does well. It shows that he didn't fall to the level of his peers, but he rose above it.

Summa c-um laude? This kid has only completed his first semester at Harvard! How can you say he is in the top 1% of his Harvard class when he will not graduate for another 3 years?
This was stated in the original article. He was awarded the scholarship after one semester where he was Summa C-um Laude.

Show me where in that article that it says "Plus, 16% of Harvard is international anyways, not all with citizenship or visas either."
You see, the reason why it's blue and underlined is because it's a link. Within that article, you will see everything I quoted. Try reading...
A Summa C-um Laude Harvard graduate will have no problem finding a 6-figure job right out of college. Any company who will hire him will also have an immigration attorney work on getting him the proper visa to live here and work here. That's how it works.
O...M...G
Dude! He hasn't graduated yet! As a matter of fact, he is a freshman. Why do you keep referring to him as a summa c*um laude Harvard graduate?
No wait! Don't tell me! I am not wasting anymore time on this nonsense.

You can't. That is not stated anywhere in the article.

It is, I got it from that article, just READ IT. It mentions that there are some US Citizens, some with dual citizenship and some are foreign citizens.

This was in response to the question "what will he do when he graduates?" When he graduates, assuming he continues to excel as he already has, he will be a summa c*um laude graduate. Obviously he isn't yet...I was answering that question about his post-graduate opportunities.

Nice try. You have no clue as the whether he will graduate summa c*um laude or not.

At nine years old you have no say over the decisions your parents make for you. You just follow because you trust that your parents love you and know what is best for you. He is not to blame for what his parents did. He did not break the law.
But at 16 or even 18 he knew what the law was, why did he not rectify the situation? Instead he chose to remain an illegal and do things illegally. I agree a nine year old does not know he broke the law. A top student accepted to one of the most prestigious colleges in the world does know he broke the law, and is continuing to break the law. So no offense but that argument is moot.

So, he should just have left and went back to mexico( a country he hadn't been to since he was 9) at 16 or 18 all by himself?
No offense, but your argument is not grounded in reality one bit.

Had his parents passed on or left him alone when he reached that age? If not, then they could have gone back together.
That being said, if this fella has truly earned his way into the school, I congratulate him on his mental prowess. But I have to wonder what kind of reputable college would let an illegal alien enter their hallowed halls? Shouldn't they have done some rudimentary background work and discovered he was not a legal citizen of the US? I feel the school is at fault in this particular instance, because they failed to make sure he was a legal US citizen.
Personally, I hope he does well and then takes his education back to his true home country where intelligent, hard working people are desperately needed. We have plenty of homegrown brainiacs, let's send this guy back home so he can assist in bringing his homeland up to a new level.
Let the guy finish school, there's no reason to waste a good brain. Americans are good people, and we love to see others succeed. Chalk this one up to a charitable donation to the betterment of the world.

Agreed. Those now grown illegals (aka self proclaimed "children" of illegal aliens) who are sitting around DREAM(ing) of amnesty and demanding instate tuition rates should leave now or be deported.
Los Angeles—Juan Hernandez-Campos, an undocumented who completed his first semester at Harvard University, has been awarded a $50,000 per year scholarship Hernandez-Campos, who was born in Guadalajara, Mexico.
There are universities and private foundations that award scholarships to distinguished students, regardless of their immigration status.
----
In my opinion, now, that we know who he is and where he is, how can we deport him? That money belongs to an American child for education and not an illegal aliens. This illegal alien will make a fine addition to his home town of Guadalajara, Mexico. I'm sure they have colleges in Mexico. We must have him deported immediately. If the organization wants to fund his education in Mexico that would be fine.
Deport All Illegal aliens:
Juan Hernandez-Campos an illegal alien from Guadalajara, Mexico will be attending school at Harvard.
This organization needs to be raided, “After School All Stars,” a national after school educational and recreational program designed to keep youth out of trouble.
His father needs to be checked to see if he's an illegal alien, if he is then he needs to be deported too, "he crossed the border nine years ago to be with his father."
Call Harvard and complain, the illegal alien is illegally taking a space where an legal American should be!
