Defining American
Jose Antonio Vargas is an undocumented immigrant from the Philippines who runs a non-profit media advocacy organization that aims to show how the perception of documented and undocumented immigrants is seen in the United States. Vargas came out as being an undocumented immigrant in the New York Times Sunday Magazine in 2001. He was warned ahead of time by many of his lawyers that it was a bad idea because not only was he exposing himself, but opening a big lawsuit against him for violating the law. After the magazine published his story he know that he would have to take action, so he decided to inform people about the immigration system in the United States by creating media advocacy organization. He created a media platform that he created to have storytelling by general people around the country to "Define American". He wants to change the current perception of immigrants and immigration by doing so he split Define American's strategies into 3 different areas. Firs
