WATCH: Journalist Jose Antonio Vargas On Defining American & The Immigration Conversation In The US

http://youtu.be/Q3UqkzNlLGU

It seems every week we’re learning about a new candidate throwing their hat into the ring for the race for President. And there’s one topic many are focused on with the 2016 Presidential election…immigration. It’s an issue award winning journalist Jose Antonio Vargas knows quite well. He came out publicly as an undocumented immigrant in 2011. Since that time, Vargas began the media and culture campaign, Define American, which is an effort to change the tone of the national conversation about immigration. He also released a documentary about his personal story. During a recent visit to Rochester, Vargas sat down with Need to Know’s Michelle Faust to share more about his work and his story.
