Students Stage Mock Graduation To Advocate for Undocumented
 
Every June for the past eight years, hundreds of undocumented high school and college students have traveled to Washington from across the country and urged Congress to pass a bill that would make it easier for them to become citizens and pursue higher education.

They showed up again yesterday, staging a mock graduation ceremony designed to highlight the plight of about 65,000 undocumented people who graduate from U.S. high schools every year but often find that their legal status prevents them from attending college.
