Carlos: the story of an undocumented student
Carlos Roa was brought to the United States by his family when he was only 2 years old. After graduating high school, he wanted to pursue the military as a means of accessing a career engineering but was unable to because of his status as an undocumented immigrant. He now studies architecture at Miami Dade College. His mother died after a 10-year battle with cancer in 2006, and he has continued her legacy by fighting for the DREAM Act and immigration reform. Earlier this year he was one of four students who walked 1500 miles to Washington DC as part of the Trail of Dreams.
