Illegal immigrant youth 'come out' in reform push #undocumented and unafraid


ATLANTA A national movement of young illegal immigrants declaring themselves "undocumented and unafraid" got a boost this week when a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist announced he's been living in the country illegally.

The revelation by former Washington Post reporter Jose Antonio Vargas comes as groups of illegal immigrant youth organize rallies, letter-writing campaigns and sit-ins. They want the federal government to relax immigration rules for people were brought to the U.S. illegally as children by their parents.

Eighteen-year-old Dulce (DOOL'-say) Guerrero is helping stage a rally next week at the Georgia State Capitol. The recent high school grad and others say it's worth risking deportation to call attention to their cause.
