McKINNEY, Texas -- There is no easy way to prepare for what Larissa Martinez did last week.
The valedictorian at McKinney Boyd High School crafted her words and sentences carefully before making the speech at her graduation.
"Now I have to stand up there, in front of all those people," she said.
Martinez held a 4.95 GPA and took 17 AP classes over her high school career. She's also an undocumented immigrant.

I posted that yesterday and the mods all of a sudden came out from under their rock to delete it because I called her an idiot. She may be booksmart but she just threw her family under the bus.

You're right, not the same person. This one did it the right way. This was the one I was talking about: http://www.cbsnews.com/news/texas-va...umented-tweet/

She posted a tweet about being smart, having great legs, and undocumented

More positive story on both. Odd thing is I've had two people post this on my facebook...I wonder if they're dreamers too.

Very good speech.

But I've read in several articles that she came in 2010 and that she has DACA.

How can she have DACA when one of the requisites of DACA is to "Have continuously resided in the United States since June 15, 2007, up to the present time"?

Interesting.

You have been always special to me as you give me codes whenever i need them for iTunes music and other videos. I had been regretting that you should get the website for iTunes gift card code online so that you may be having abundant gift cards with you.
