Being undocumented
Used to bring you shame
With no one to give fault to
Our parents were the ones to blame
.
Not having a 9 digit number
you wrte stripped of your rights
Making you depressed and withdrawn
With the real war an inner fight
.
Feeling alone
With no shoulder to cry
When they asked are you legal
You made up a lie
.
You wonder and wonder
What will I do after school
When everyones recieving scholarships
While I stand like a fool
.
Prohibited from working
Because of a s.s card
Life went from being difficult
To extremly hard
.
AM I THE ONLY ONE
You scream and you yelp
Can anyone hear me
I truely need help
.
Yes we can help you
GUYA is here
We’ll reach out our hand
With nothing to fear
.
We must win all our fights
To defend our unalienable rights
We will always stand
To protest this unlawful banned
Whereve you see us
We will march in a parade
Celebrating the beauty
Of students who are undocumented and unafraid

URGENT: Ivan Satizabal (A# 098-98-9634)
, who has lived in the U.S. since he was 15 years old, could be deported to a country where he has no family & life will be in serious jeopardy.
Ivan was brought to the U.S. from Honduras, in 2005, after gangs wanted to forcefully recruit him. ICE gave him a temporary protection and now wants to deport him to a country where he has no family and will most likely be killed. Deporting Ivan to Honduras is equivalent to a death sentence!
Make a call to ICE: 202.732.3000 or 202-732-3100Sample Script: “Hi, I am calling to ask that the deportation of DREAMer Ivan Satizabal (A# 098-98-9634) be stopped. Ivan has been living in the U.S. since he was 15 years old. He has no family in Honduras and is scared he will get killed by the gangs. if deported his life would be in danger!”
I know that there have been so many of these to sign but it is THAT MUCH MORE IMPORTANT
What the ICE is doing, what the Obama administration is doing right now goes against ALL the excuses and their “JUSTIFICATION” or rather “EXCUSES” they always use when it comes to the topic of immigration!
PLEASE SIGN AND SPREAD!!
Meet Jessica and Noah. Jessica’s fiancee Miguel was detained July of last year and has spent the last 6 months detained. Jessica is currently 8 months pregnant and would like nothing more than to be reunited with her family. She can’t stop thinking of him, to the point that she was rushed to the emergency room a few weeks ago and almost went into pre-mature labor. Now Jessica is on bedrest, her doctor won’t allow for her to even go to work. This family needs to be reunited!
SIGN AND SPREAD!!
We are much more than that obviously, but I’m delighted with the growing community of undocumented immigrants that are using Tumblr! It’s such an awesome micro-blogging (and reblogging) platform.
Reblog and add yourself if I missed you. Apologies in advance for any transgressions.

On October 13th, 2010, the Georgia Board of Regents voted to ban undocumented students from Georgia’s top five competitive universities, including Georgia College & State University, Medical College of Georgia, Georgia State University, Georgia Institute of Technology, and the University of Georgia. The changes went into effect at the start of the 2011 Fall Semester.
On November 8th, 2011, GUYA presented thousands of petitions to the Board of Regents demanding that the ban on undocumented students be overturned. We are now asking that Mr. Griffin and Mr. Pruitt call for a re-vote on Policy 4.1.6. We are requesting that they listen to the people and no longer bar access to education.
Throughout our lives, our teachers, public servants, families, and communities have told us that education is the quintessential vehicle for overcoming life challenges and poverty. In the classroom, we develop the consciousness and skills to become contributing and productive members of society. Stripping youth of an education puts students and the state at risk. This policy destroys dreams, and cripples Georgia’s future.
My friend Mehreen made a great video about the struggle for education here in Georgia as an undocumented student. Watch, spread and love!!!

Isaac and Jonathan are out! Isaac and Jonathan confronted ICE and took away the power of fear and in so doing, helped empower the community.
If you organize you are safe.
So far we’ve been able to show you that if you are undocumented and organized you are safe from deportation. Obama memo or not, if you are a part of a larger community then you are safe from deportation.
Read the full story over at DreamActivist!
Thank you for everyone who called yesterday!!
and thank you Isaac and Jonathan for your bravery!! This only proves further that we will NOT step back and wait for some politician to bring positive CHANGE to your COMMUNITIES! We are going to FIGHT back and TAKE back our RIGHTS!!! <3 <3
HURRAY FOR COLLECTIVE EFFORT!
iyjl:
During the National Immigrant Youth Alliance’s Week of Action, 15 undocumented youth and parents were arrested for standing up for themselves and our community in protest of unjust laws like Alabama’s HB56. 13 of these undocumented youth and parents were released, while 2 undocumented youth were transferred to New Orleans detention center and are awaiting deportation.
Isaac and Jonathan are no different than the 13 undocumented youth and parents who were arrested and released less than 2 days later. Why is President Obama still trying to deport Isaac and Jonathan?
TAKE ACTION - MAKE A CALL:
1. Call DHS – Janet Napolitano (202-282-8495) and ICE – John Morton (202.732.3000)
Sample Script: ”I am calling to ask that the deportation of my friends Isaac Barrera and Jonathan Perez be immediately stopped. Isaac and Jonathan are DREAM Act eligible. President Obama has said he won’t be deporting undocumented youth and our families. Why are Isaac and Jonathan still detained and awaiting deportation to countries they no longer remember?”

^^ this is important. they also have agreements with greyhound and amtrak across the country.
Keish Kim speaking in front of Georgia Board of Regents in behalf of GUYA and the Undocumented students in Georgia.
Asking to RESCIND the ban on Undocumented students. (Policy 4.1.6) This policy states that admissions offices check immigration status before admitting students and if they are not lawfully present, they cannot attend the public universities in Georgia. Currently under this policy the 5 most competitive public university enforce this. Including UGA, GA Tech Georgia State University, GCSU, and Georgia Health Science University.
So, on November 8th, 2011, GUYA was granted a seat at the Board of Regent’s committee of Organization and Law to present a 10 minute presentation. This was Keish Kim’s speech asking the board to lift the ban before halting more goals and dreams of the invisible, undocumented students in Georgia.
The scarlet U represented all the Undocumented students who were underrepresented and were unable to stand with us. We are standing up and speaking out for all of them.Undocumented and Unafraid. Unashamed and Unapologetic!!
