More and more Americans are joining the conversation about immigration, thanks to the efforts of Jose Antonio Vargas, a recently self-outed illegal immigrant journalist who has launched a social media movement, Define American. Through his campaign, Vargas is encouraging Americans to participate in national dialogue and share their personal stories about “what it means to be an American today” or stories about “our broken immigration system.” Participants are invited to upload their stories via text, audio, or YouTube video at the Define American website. “Never underestimate the power of a story,” Vargas tells Mashable. “I’m just one story. We need to hear more stories.”
