Ruben Vives, Former Illegal Immigrant, Wins Pulitzer for Coverage of Bell Scandal

Quote:
Let's be clear: Vives is a reporter, first and foremost. Not a Latino reporter, not a former illegal immigrant reporter, but a reporter. He helped achieved what investigative reporters dream about: boot out bastards, help the downtrodden, and win the nation's premier journalism at a young age. But I, along with the millions of Latinos who come from an undocumented pedigree, whether it be our parents (me), our cousins, uncles, friends, or ourselves (like all the Dreamers out there), can't help but gloat about Vives' background. What a wonderful chinga tu madre at the Know Nothings of the world who insist illegals can't make anything of themselves in this country! What a glorious toma, güey to those who say Latinos bring the corruption of their homelands to the United States and endorse it! What a beautiful arriba to those of us who know undocumented youngsters can and do make something of themselves in this country--if only they have a chance!

This is a clear example that DREAMERs can in fact assimilate and if given the opportunity to become legal, they can do good things in our country. Vives is an excellent example of it.

Dreamers need to go back to wherever they came from. Their countries need them more than we do.

How did he get legal? Was he part of reagan's amnesty?
Not surprising the liberal media would fawn over this illegal.

If they have brains they can achieve wonderful things back home in their own wonderful country and can work for the downtrodden of their own lands.

An example of law breakers doing as they please. What's winning a Pulitzer got anything to with it? All it shows to future generations that they don't have to follow the law, that they can jump the line to get what they want.
