If she is no longer illegal, Angy wonders if she can remain a leader in an organization where a core belief is that all decisions, big and small, are made by young people living here illegally on behalf of those living here illegally? Those with any kind of temporary visa or permanent status are asked to leave the room. "I won't want to leave the room," Rivera says, forlornly.

In 2010, Rivera spilled her heart to the world at a "Coming out of the Shadows" rally in New York. At first she was terrified. She could barely bring herself to wear the T-shirt, let alone say the words "My name is Angy. I am undocumented and unafraid" in public. But once she did, there was no stopping her.

The oldest of four - her siblings are all American-born citizens - Angy has nothing but gratitude and admiration for the mother who had warned her to be careful. (AP Photo/Seth Wenig)</p>
