Undocumented Teen's School, Work Options Limited : NPR

I heard this story about Sam, a kid from Elkhart, IN the other day. He's an aspiring musician in a town broken by the recession. Already he had few options. Being the son of undocumented immigrants, he has no way of getting into college.

I remember hearing his story on Latino USA awhile back. Here are part one and part two of his story.

There's a lot wrong in this country, from racism to poverty to "compassionate conservatism". How we treat those trying to make their way in this country outside the narrow confines of the bigoted rules we have is one of those things.

Best of luck Sam.
