Yesterday, former Washington Post reporter Jose Antonio Vargas revealed in a piece published by the New York Times Magazine that he is an undocumented immigrant. While Vargas’ piece was eye-opening and could possibly could lead to him being deported, we also found it interesting that the paper where Vargas won a Pulitzer, the Post, didn’t run with the story.

In 2008, Washington Post reporter Jose Antonio Vargas won a Pulitzer Prize for his reporting on the Virginia Tech massacre. Today, Vargas turned the pen on himself, writing in the New York Times Magazine that he has lived illegally in the U.S. since first arriving from the Philippines in 1993.
