For some, it has become one of those life-defining moments, the ones where you remember the exact time and date, where you were and what you were doing. For Jose Torres, 25, of Rohnert Park, it was 8:30 a.m. June 15.
Torres, a Sonoma State University student who has been living illegally in the United States for about a decade, was at work when his mother called him from Mexico. She said she saw a news report about a new program that offers undocumented students the chance to work legally in the United States.
