In a June 2011 essay in ''The New York Times Magazine'', Vargas revealed his status as an undocumented immigrant in an effort to promote dialogue about the immigration system in the U.S. and to advocate for the DREAM Act, which would provide children in similar circumstances with a path to citizenship. A year later, a day after the publication of his ''Time'' cover story about his continued uncertainty regarding his immigration status, the Obama administration announced it was halting the deportation of undocumented immigrants age 30 and under, who would be eligible for the DREAM Act. Vargas, who had just turned 31, did not qualify.
Vargas is the founder of Define American, a nonprofit organization intended to open up dialogue about the criteria people use to determine who is an American. He has said: "I am an American. I just don't have the right papers."
In September 2018, his memoir, ''Dear America: Notes of an Undocumented Citizen'', was published by Dey Street.
In July 2022, he was appointed to the California State University Board of Trustees by Governor Gavin Newsom. Provided by Wikipedia
