NEW YORK - Twitter can be a very cruel place.



Mayte Lara Ibarra graduated from high school David Crockett High School in Texas and almost as soon as they finished the celebration of graduation, shared a tweet about his achievements: an impressive GPA of 4.5 and a full scholarship to attend the prestigious University of Texas (UT). But just finished cutting the button "Tweet" Twitter when the fury fell on him.

The reason? the tweet Lara also referred to his status as undocumented.





The original tweet said something like "Valedictorian (graduated with honors), GPA of 4.5, medals, nice legs ... oh, and I am undocumented".

Posted on June 3, the tweet quickly generated more than 9,400 retweets and nearly 20,000 "likes", although at press time, Lara's account had been closed. However, several media reported that she decided to close as a result of the wave of attacks and racist comments received on the network.
