Deferred In Firebaugh

On Friday, September 7th, a group of lawyers and advocates of immigrant students(Southeast Leadership Network) came to Marco Antonio Firebaugh High School to help in the filing out of the deferred action form. This was a great event for the minority of undocumented students in M.A. Firebaugh High School and around the area. The seminar included a variety of professional lawyers who gave step-by-step instruction in completing the deferred act application.

The entire event was split into two groups: English and Spanish which catered to the two predominant languages spoken in our community. Each group had an individual presenter who instructed in their particular language. I can't talk about the Spanish group, but I was in the English group,which was a very expedient experience. There was also a group of separate lawyers that took individual people to take questions. This was very helpful, but sadly I was unable to talk to one of the lawyers.

In conclusion, the event was very helpful. They catered to the languages in our community and provided a more personal assistance. The future looks bright for undocumented students looking to help the community.
