The undocumented youth were ready to stand up for their right to be treated equality just like any other America. The only difference has always been that they were not born in this country, but apart from that many times they have grown up in America, calling this country their home. They are no longer afraid and have began to bring awareness to communities about what is occurring and bringing attention to the injustices that are often overseen.

The Irony of “Born in the U.S.A.” As the fireworks explode in the night sky to celebrate Independence Day, “Born in the U.S.A.” by Bruce Springsteen plays loudly for the audience to hear. As the men, women, and children bellow out the chorus proudly, they never seem to grasp its intended meaning.
