A man with the initials J.G.S. graduated at the top of his class at Florida State University's College of Law. He has spent many years studying and toiling for this accomplishment. Yet despite the studying, the papers, the all-nighters, and the struggle to succeed, he may never see his dreams become a reality. The graduate's desire to be a successful American lawyer was killed when the Florida Board of Bar Examiners denied him entry into the state Bar. According to the Huffington Post, J.G.S. is an undocumented immigrant, and the Bar could not accept him because of his legal status.

When he was nine, J.G.S. was given entry to the United States on a tourist visa. He traveled from Mexico with his family, and his parents overstayed their allowed visitation. During their permanent but undocumented residence, J.G.S. succeeded as the high school valedictorian and earned his Eagle Scout Badge with the Boys Scouts of America. The young and talented man is now the subject of a high profile Supreme Court case. The Florida Board of Bar Examiners insists that they cannot accept a graduate who is not a legal US Citizen, but the court will reevaluate their denial.

J.G.S. has used his situation to be public about immigration issues. He reported to the Orlando Sentinel that he is not apologetic about his lack of citizenship. He says that he may be undocumented, but he is also unafraid. He hopes that his activist mentality will raise awareness of immigrant injustice all throughout the U.S. He has become something of a role model for other undocumented youth, who echo his slogan: "undocumented, unapologetic, and unafraid."

These illegal youth face legal difficulties like J.G.S., because they were brought into the country by their parents. They were not a part of the illegal activities that went on, but are now reaping the punishments of their parents' decisions. J.G.S. hopes that his situation can show America what it is like to be the victim of the immigration system. His case has forced the courts to refocus on the issue of undocumented students. Opponents of J.G.S. and illegal alien students say that even if J.G.S. was accepted into the bar, he would not be allowed to practice law in the United States. Others who are more supportive of the young man say that he could practice law cases in Florida if he took them on pro-bono.

The president at the Americans for Legal Immigration political action committee says that any immigrant who shows contempt for American law the way that J.S.G. does should not be allowed to practice law. Others are rooting for the young activist, including a former president of the American Bar Association. This woman says that it's unfair to deny J.S.G. credentials that he has rightfully earned. She says that there is nothing in the "Rules of the Supreme Court Relating to Admissions to the Florida Bar" that prohibits undocumented students from being able to participate in the bar exam.

This devastated law school graduate is not alone - in New York a similar case is underway with a Mexican immigrant with the initials C.V. C.V. graduated from law school at the City University of New York and passed the bar exam in 2011, but now he is being apprehended from practicing law. The immigrant was brought to the U.S. at the age of five. His mother, who entered the country illegally, has also been located. This court case will help to clarify the rights of undocumented citizens, and will continue to revise immigration law.
