At the age of 21, Sergio has an undying love of politics. He has already interned for two state lawmakers and hopes to pursue a career in politics. He plans to commit himself to changing his community, but there is one catch: Sergio is in the country illegally; he can’t even vote.

"It is something that I am really passionate about, but because of my position, it gets really frustrating," Sergio said.

A student at San Diego State University, Sergio graduated from San Diego High School with a 4.3 GPA and entered SDSU with a full, privately funded scholarship.

At least these hard-working kids will contribute to our great society versus the thugs who will end up in jail or be a cancer to the country at large.

How can this illegal immigrant Sergio contribute to our society when he can't legally work here?
