    Undocumented UCLA students gather at church for graduation ceremony

    Undocumented UCLA students stand in line at a graduation ceremony for UCLA "Dreamers", or Dream Act students, at a church near the campus in Los Angeles on Friday. Undocumented youths who came to the United States as children reacted with joy to an Obama administration rule change on Friday that could spare them deportation, although opponents slammed it as amnesty.

    Undocumented UCLA students attend a graduation ceremony for "Dreamers" or Dream Act students at a church near the campus in Los Angeles.

    Miranda Leitsinger reports that some illegal immigrants reacted with joy, and others with skepticism, to the Obama administration's announcement that it would no longer seek the deportation of most undocumented youth:

    The announcement represented a major policy shift, and its political implications will be significant.

    Cesar Vargas, who started DRM Capitol Group, LLC, to advocate for people in his position -- he illegally entered the country from Mexico when he was 5 years old -- welcomed Obama’s announcement: “We’re speechless.”

    “A lot of the work that dreamers have been doing … it’s showing fruit, so we’re a little bit shocked, a little surprised and definitely excited,” said Vargas, 28.

    Old machines preserved at "birthplace of the Internet" at UCLA

    Kleinrock Internet Heritage Site and Archive via Reuters

    UCLA computer scientists are pictured in the birthplace of the Internet at the original location of the first ARPANET node, at 3420 Boelter Hall in UCLA in this undated photograph provided by UCLA. UCLA professor Leonard Kleinrock and his team used the Interface Message Processor, IMP, the packet-switching node used to interconnect participant networks to the ARPANET to send the first message, the letters LO to Standford Research Institute on October 29, 1969. The UCLA Department of Computer Science and Henry Samueli School of Engineering and Applied Science have collaborated in creating the Kleinrock Internet Heritage Site and Archive (KIHSA) with the center recreating the lab at its original site in 3420 Boelter Hall, moving the IMP back to the room from which that first message was sent.The recreated lab will open October 29 with a reunion of the computer scientists responsible for the first message.
