Oscar Vasquez has an inspiring life story. In high school, he was part of a team of undocumented immigrants from Mexico who defeated elite high schools in a prestigious robotics competition — a tale that inspired the book and film Spare Parts. He was granted full citizen status while serving in the U.S. military, and became a paratrooper deployed to Afghanistan. Here, he’ll speak about his life story and social justice in the context of the nation’s current immigration policy.
