What appeared as any typical Wednesday noon at UCR's Bell Tower quickly became a large occasion as an audience of Highlanders were attracted to the center of campus to support Coming Out of the Shadows, an event hosted by the Undocumented Student Programs.
"I'm coming out as undocumented, and unafraid,"second-year sociology major Ruby Olvera proudly shared alongside several other undocumented students.
"I have a right to education and to healthcare, and I shouldn't be denied this just because of my legal status," exclaimed fourth-year sociology major Veronica Martinez.
As an undocumented student ally, Nicole Perez, a fourth-year psychology and music double-major, also aims to combat the negative and stereotypical views undocumented students confront by sharing her experience about her parents. Since she was a child, Perez would question, "Why can't we visit my grandma in El Salvador? Why is my mom always so nervous?"
Coming Out of the Shadows united UCR's students and inspired them to support the Undocumented Student Programs' cause.

I hope we can get Operation Wetback Ver 2.0 underway as soon as Trump is inaugurated.
They are unafraid because Obama won’t uphold the law of the land.
Those who know me know what I am saying out loud right now.
In English and Italian
That happens only when I’m beyond mad.
I’m thinking of a word that rhymes with wick.
I stopped reading at ‘I have a right.’ And of course at the classy finger signs. Go Trump.
you read my mind :)
That pictures shows the type of “fine, upstanding young men and women” that Obama has hoped would flood the USA...
Disgusting....Trump, get rid of this vermin......
These illegal college students showing their contempt to tax paying Americans.
They hate Trump like the RNC. Wonder what their FR log ins are.
soetoro gives US the finger every moment of every day.

As long as somebody else is paying for right, parasite?
There you have it in a nutshell. She is ENTITLED to education and healthcare, and we are OBLIGATED to provide it.
Now shut up and get back to work, gringo.
This “I have a right” thing is getting out of hand. It is not a right to get education or healthcare. It is a privilege. A right cannot be taken away without legal cause or unlawful acts. The second one can be replaced.
All you have a right to do is live legally in this country and expect the laws to protect you from those that feel they have a right to violate your rights, apparently by claiming their own made up ones.
An “undocumented alien” is not a citizen, they are a federal criminal based upon trespass. If they trespass on your land, the law can get them off. If they trespass on the US land, the law should get them off. That’s the “right” of the citizen. And it is a right, not privilege.

Donald Trump. /s
What do you get when you reward bad behavior?
More Democrats.
Arrest them (pray they resist) and deport them.
What kind of moron could possibly think this makes sense? She is saying that if someone illegally enters our country, then working Americans have an obligation to educate and pay for medical care for that person? That is totally insane! We need to round up every single illegal, deport them all without exception, and take their fingerprints on the way out so we can permanently bar them from reentry.
