Jose Antonio Vargas is a Pulitzer Price winner journalist, a filmmaker and an immigration activist. In 2011 he wrote 'My Life as An Undocumented Immigrant,' a groundbreaking essay in the New York Times Magazine, where he revealed his life in America as an undocumented immigrant. Last year, he appeared on the cover of TIME magazine internationally with DREAMers as part of a follow-up cover story. Now, Vargas runs Define American, a campaign he founded to 'bring new voices into the immigration conversation.'
