Academic All Star Walter Lara faces deportation

The Pew Hispanic Center calculates that every year there are some 65,000 high school graduates in the US, who can´t go to college because of their immigration status.
Most of these young men and women were brought to the country years ago, by their parents who entered the US as undocumented immigrants. Many of them now face deportation, because of a law that bars these young people from staying in the country after they turn 18.
FSRN has recently been following a few people in this situation, including Walter Lara, who´s been in Washington, DC trying to raise awareness about US immigration laws.
Lara was born in Argentina but he came to the US with his parents when he was three.   He´s an Academic All Star, graduating from high school with a 4.7 GPA and over 1000 hours of community service. Lara says his dream is to study computer animation, and while his legal status has prevented him from entering  a full time university program, he did finish an associates degree at Miami Dade community college.
Lara was recently detained by immigration authorities, and he´s facing deportation on the 6th of July.
