Some opponents of immigration reform argue that to grant Balderas pardon would be to condone an illegal act, regardless of his academic standing. Yet others have come to the student's defense, emphasizing his strong identification as an American and his outstanding academic history.
Mark M. Medvesky, public affairs officer at Immigration and Customs Enforcement, said on Saturday that he cannot disclose details about Balderas' particular case due to the Department of Homeland Security's privacy policy.
"When ICE encounters an individual suspected of being in the country illegally, we exercise our discretion on a case-by-case basis," Medvesky said. "In some instances, we issue a Notice to Appear before an immigration judge."
"Just hang in there," Balderas said. "Let others know of your problem and try and gain support for the DREAM Act, because that's ultimately what's going to save us all."
