From the Inquirer . LOS ANGELES—“This is the year, this is the moment, this is history.” Jose Antonio Vargas, a Pulitzer Prize-winning Filipino-American journalist, posted this on Facebook as he sat in the front row at Del Sol High School in Las Vegas where US President Barack Obama announced on Tuesday an overhaul of the US immigration laws. Vargas, who is undocumented, has been promoting the passage of the Dream Act and has become a popular public figure in a national campaign for immigration reform in the United States. “We welcome this positive development that brings hope to the more than one million undocumented Filipinos in the US,” said Arturo P.
