Valedictorian reveals undocumented status, blasts Trump

Valedictorian Larissa Martínez surprised a lot of people last week when she revealed a well-kept secret during her graduation.

Turns out that the girl, with a fill ride scholarship to Yale, is not a legal resident of the United States.

And if that didn't ruffle enough feathers, she also took a few jabs against Republican presidential hopeful Donald Trump.

“The most important part of the debate and is often overlooked is that immigrants, undocumented or otherwise, are people too.  People with dreams, aspirations, hopes and loved ones. People like me. People who have become a part of the American society and way of life and who yearn to help make ‘America great again' without the construction of a wall built on hatred and prejudice,” she said that night, without even mentioning the tycoon once, but pretty much on the mark.

Martínez held a 4.95 GPA and took 17 AP classes over her high school career at the McKinney Boyd High School.

It is not known if Martinez has applied for or obtained temporary legal status under President Obama's executive amnesty plan, Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA).

"A part of me feels like I was meant to do this," Martínez said after her graduation speech. The girl lives in a humble, one-bedroom apartment in McKinney with her mother, Deyanira Contreras.

Larissa had only shared her full story with a handful of friends all through her early life.

According to Deyanira, her family left Mexico City in 2010, leaving an abusive and alcoholic husband. Both her girls were young at the time she arrived in the States. They put in an application for citizenship almost seven years ago and are still waiting for it to be processed.
