Illegal immigrant attending Cerritos

Wednesday, May 13th, 2009

As an undocumented illegal immigrant, Gomez has both suffered and learned to overcome many obstacles that have been presented in his life.

He has admitted to the crimes, such as identity theft, he felt compelled to commit in order to try to survive and prosper in this “beautiful and great land of opportunities” he calls the United States.

“I’ve done so many things that I wish I could say I regret doing, but in all honesty I don’t think I could or should regret something that has helped my family prosper and survive,” he said.

He is currently attending Cerritos College under a different name and working under someone else’s social security number.

Prior to attending Cerritos College, he also attended ELAC and Cypress College, also under a different name, but was forced to leave because he was not able to present official proof, such as a birth certificate, in order to continue receiving financial aid.
