According to Vargas, the Washington Post violated federal immigration law by employing him, noting that Peter Perl, the Post's managing editor for personnel, sat on a park bench adjacent to the White House and had a 20-minute conversation in which Vargas told Perl that he was an illegal alien, and consequently barred from legal employment. As Vargas wrote: "Peter was shocked. 'I understand you 100 times better now,' he said. He told me that I had done the right thing by telling him, and that it was now our shared problem. He said he didn't want to do anything about it just yet. I had just been hired, he said, and I needed to prove myself. 'When you've done enough,' he said, 'we'll tell Don and Len together.' (Don Graham is the chairman of The Washington Post Company; Leonard Downie Jr. was then the paper's executive editor.)

==Admissions of Legal Violations==

In order to obtain a position at the Washington Post, Vargas needed to acquire a driver's license. Though he was living in California, Vargas found that when it came to lax driver's license security, "Oregon was among the most welcoming." One of the individuals who helped Vargas obtain the ID fraudulently was Patricia Foote, assistant managing editor for the Seattle Times. The other persons engaged in the conspiracy were Rich Fischer, superintendent for the Mountain View High School in California, Pat Hyland, the school's principal, and the duo's assistant Mary Moore. Each of these individuals sent letters to Vargas at an Oregon address belonging to a friend of Vargas's father in an attempt to create the impression that Vargas lived in Oregon.<ref>Jon Feere, "WA Cancels Illegal Alien Journalist's Driver's License; Will ICE Investigate the Papers That Hired Him?"

:"The Post internship posed a tricky obstacle: It required a driver’s license. (After my close call at the California D.M.V., I’d never gotten one.) So I spent an afternoon at The Mountain View Public Library, studying various states’ requirements. Oregon was among the most welcoming — and it was just a few hours’ drive north.

Jose Antonio Vargas (born February 3, 1981) is a Filipino American journalist living and working in the United States.[2] Vargas was part of The Washington Post team that won the Pulitzer Prize for Breaking News Reporting in 2008 for their coverage of the Virginia Tech shootings online and in print. Born in the Philippines, and raised in the United States from the age of 12, Vargas has also worked for The San Francisco Chronicle, The Philadelphia Daily News, and The Huffington Post.

In a June 2011 essay in The New York Times Magazine, Vargas revealed his status as an "undocumented immigrant" in order to promote dialogue about the immigration system in the US. It was also a way to advocate for the DREAM Act, which would help children in similar circumstances have a path to citizenship. A year later, after he wrote a cover story for Time about his continued uncertainty regarding his status, the Obama administration announced its halt to the deportation of undocumented immigrants under age 30 eligible for the DREAM Act; Vargas himself does not qualify due to his age.

Personal life and education

Vargas was born in Antipolo,[3] the Philippines. In 1993, when Vargas was 12, his mother sent him to live with his grandparents in the US, but without obtaining authorization for him to stay in the country permanently.[2] In Mountain View, California, he attended Crittenden Middle School and Mountain View High School.[4] He did not learn of his immigration status until 1997, at age 16, when he attempted to obtain a California driver's license with identity documents provided by his family which he then discovered were fraudulent. He kept his immigration status secret, pursuing his education and fitting in as an American, with the help of friends and teachers, using false documents including a green card, Filipino passport, and a driver’s license that helped him to avoid deportation.[2]

In high school, his English teacher introduced him to journalism,[5] and in 1998, he began an internship at the Mountain View Voice, a local newspaper. He later became a "copy boy" for the San Francisco Chronicle. Vargas attended San Francisco State University, gaining a degree in Political Science and Black Studies. In the summers during college he interned for the Philadelphia Daily News and for The Washington Post.[4]

Vargas came out as gay in high school in 1999, a decision he describes as being "less daunting than coming out about my legal status".[2]

Journalism

Work for The Washington Post

In 2004, immediately after graduating from San Francisco State he was hired by The Washington Post [4] Style section to cover the video-game boom. He became known for his anecdotal coverage of the HIV epidemic in Washington:[6] His coverage was adapted into a 2010 documentary called The Other City.[4] In 2007, he was part of the Washington Post team covering the Virginia Tech shootings, earning a Pulitzer Prize for Breaking News Reporting.

When Vargas made a pitch for himself as a politics reporter for the Post, he told his editor, "You need someone to cover the presidential campaign who has a Facebook account and who looks at YouTube every day." Vargas went on to cover the 2008 presidential campaign,[6] including a front-page article in 2007 on Wikipedia's impact on the 2008 election.[7]

According to Vargas, the Washington Post violated federal immigration law by employing him, noting that Peter Perl, the Post's managing editor for personnel, sat on a park bench adjacent to the White House and had a 20-minute conversation in which Vargas told Perl that he was an illegal alien, and consequently barred from legal employment. As Vargas wrote: "Peter was shocked. 'I understand you 100 times better now,' he said. He told me that I had done the right thing by telling him, and that it was now our shared problem. He said he didn't want to do anything about it just yet. I had just been hired, he said, and I needed to prove myself. 'When you've done enough,' he said, 'we'll tell Don and Len together.' (Don Graham is the chairman of The Washington Post Company; Leonard Downie Jr. was then the paper's executive editor.) A month later, I spent my first Thanksgiving in Washington with Peter and his family. In the five years that followed, I did my best to 'do enough.' I was promoted to staff writer."[8] Federal authorities have not punished Mr. Perl accountable for knowingly employing an illegal immigrant.[9]

In response to the controversy, Mr. Perl explained:

"This was, at the time, not a close call. It was clear to me that I believed that my taking action would have resulted in his losing his job and maybe being deported. And I felt like, at his age and his situation, that as much as I trust the leadership of the Washington Post, they would have been obligated to put in motion a whole series of events that were clearly going to result in real damage to Jose."[10]

He also wrote an online column called "The Clickocracy" on the Post’s website.[11]

Pulitzer Prize

Vargas authored or contributed to three Washington Post articles about the Virginia Tech shootings that were awarded the 2008 Pulitzer Prize for Breaking News Reporting.[12]

In "Students Make Connections at a Time of Total Disconnect," from April 17, 2007, Vargas reported on the role of technology in students’ experiences during the Virginia Tech shootings.[13] He described graduate student Jamal Albarghouti running towards the gun shots when he heard them, taking out his cell phone to take a shaky, one-minute video that would later air on CNN.com. "This is what this YouTube-Facebook-instant messaging generation does," Vargas wrote. "Witness. Record. Share." The article also discussed the role of Facebook, which students used to keep in touch during the event. Albarghouti returned to his apartment to find 279 new Facebook messages, Vargas recounted, and another student, Trey Perkins, faced a similar inundation.

Vargas contributed to the article " 'Pop, Pop, Pop': Students Down, Doors Barred, Leaps to Safety," which was published on April 17, 2007.[14] Through interviews with eyewitnesses, the story recounts the events of the Virginia Tech shootings. He also contributed to the article "That Was the Desk I Chose to Die Under," which ran in The Washington Post on April 19, 2007.[15] Vargas was able to gain an interview with an eyewitness to the shootings by approaching him through Facebook, he explained to GMA News. “I got him on the phone, we talked for about 25 minutes, and he was the only eyewitness we had on the story, so it was a critical part of it," Vargas explained.[3]

Work for The Huffington Post

In July 2009, Vargas left the Post to join The Huffington Post, part of an exodus of young talent from the paper.[16] Arianna Huffington introduced herself to Vargas at a Washington Press Club Foundation dinner after overhearing someone mistake him for a busboy.

Vargas joined Huffington Post as Technology and Innovations Editor where he created a "Technology as Anthropology" blog and launched the Technology vertical in September 2009 and the College vertical in February 2010.[17]

Other work

Vargas's articles on the AIDS epidemic in the nation's capital inspired a feature-length documentary, The Other City, which he co-produced and wrote. Directed by Susan Koch and co-produced by Sheila Johnson, it premiered at the 2010 Tribeca Film Festival[18] and aired on Showtime.[19]

In September 2010, Vargas profiled Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg in an article for The New Yorker.[20][21]

Immigration law advocacy

In 2011, Vargas wrote an essay for The New York Times Sunday Magazine, in which he revealed that he is an "undocumented immigrant", detailing how he came to discover this as a teenager and kept it hidden for almost 15 years, during which time he worked, paid taxes, and worried that his status would be exposed.[2] Vargas's essay received much media attention and was at the top of the Times "most-emailed" list the week it was published.[22] He received the June 2011 Sidney award for his essay, an award given by The Sidney Hillman Foundation to the "outstanding piece of socially-conscious journalism" published each month.[23]

He founded "Define American" in 2011,[24] a project aimed at facilitating dialogue about the DREAM Act and immigration issues, which would allow undocumented immigrants a path to citizenship through education or service in the military.[2] The organization also invites individuals to share their experiences via video.[25][5]

In 2012 Vargas worked with filmmaker Chris Weitz on a group of four short documentaries entitled Is this Alabama? about the effects of Alabama's immigration legislation.[26][27] The documentary, which advocates the repeal of HB 56, is a collaboration of Define American, America's Voice, and the Center for American Progress.[28]

In June 2012 Vargas wrote a cover story for Time magazine about the uncertainty of his life "in limbo" in the year since he revealed himself publicly as an undocumented immigrant.[29] The day after the article appeared, President Obama announced that his administration would halt deportations for undocumented immigrants under age 30 who would qualify for DREAM Act relief, and provide work permits for them, allowing them to remain in the US legally;[30] Vargas, at age 31, however, is not eligible for this program, but hailed it as a "victory for DREAMers".[31]

In order to obtain a position at the Washington Post, Vargas needed to acquire a driver's license. Though he was living in California, Vargas found that when it came to lax driver's license security, "Oregon was among the most welcoming." One of the individuals who helped Vargas obtain the ID fraudulently was Patricia Foote, assistant managing editor for the Seattle Times. The other persons engaged in the conspiracy were Rich Fischer, superintendent for the Mountain View High School in California, Pat Hyland, the school's principal, and the duo's assistant Mary Moore. Each of these individuals sent letters to Vargas at an Oregon address belonging to a friend of Vargas's father in an attempt to create the impression that Vargas lived in Oregon.[32]

"The Post internship posed a tricky obstacle: It required a driver’s license. (After my close call at the California D.M.V., I’d never gotten one.) So I spent an afternoon at The Mountain View Public Library, studying various states’ requirements. Oregon was among the most welcoming — and it was just a few hours’ drive north. Again, my support network came through. A friend’s father lived in Portland, and he allowed me to use his address as proof of residency. Pat, Rich and Rich’s longtime assistant, Mary Moore, sent letters to me at that address."[33]

After Mr. Vargas's admission in the New York Times, the state of Washington cancelled his driver's license.[34]

In his editorial in the New York Times, Vargas explained how his grandfather lied on immigration forms in an attempt to get his married daughter (Vargas's mother) into the United States, and also attempted to get her here through a tourist visa, which they viewed as a means towards permanent settlement.[35] The grandfather also paid a human smuggler to bring Vargas into the United States under a fake name and fake passport.[36] The grandfather obtained a fake Filipino passport in Vargas's real name, "adorned with a fake student visa" and "fraudulent green card."[37] Vargas and his grandfather used the fake documents to get a Social Security card from the Social Security Administration. The grandfather then made fraudulent copies of the card, hiding the "Valid for work only with I.N.S. authorization" language.[38]

Vargas also found work at a Subway restaurant, a Y.M.C.A., a tennis club, and seemingly a number of other positions for more than a decade.[39] Vargas claims that the businesses rarely asked to check his original Social Security card and that, when they did, he gave them the fraudulent photocopy.[40] In addition, Vargas checked the citizenship box on his federal I-9 forms because, as he explained, "claiming full citizenship was actually easier than declaring permanent resident green card status, which would have required me to provide an alien registration number."[41]
