Trump Trolls Harass Undocumented Texas H.S.Valedictorian
Mayte Lara Ibarra, this year's Valedictorian of Crockett High School in Austin Texas has created some controversy with her tweet regarding her achievement, and something else.
As anyone can imagine, it took courage to mention the fact that she is 'undocumented,' and Mayte, like millions of others lacking documentation, must live without the protections that American Citizens enjoy.
It is an unfortunate reality that people think of undocumented immigrants as poorly educated, lazy or in some cases, rapists or drug dealers. Without a name or face, people don't view the plight of undocumented people as the real humanitarian crisis it is.
Trump and his sycophants are most assuredly against any immigrant, no matter what their academic achievements may be. Here's one of the many ugly replies that Ibarra received before she took down her Twitter account:
@maytelara29 Congrats on your accomplishment. After we deport you, perhaps you can return in a way that doesn't make you a criminal.
