The Mayte Lara 'Undocumented' Tweet Controversy refers to a viral social media storm that erupted in June 2016 after a high school valedictorian from Texas tweeted about her academic achievements alongside her undocumented status. The tweet, which listed her GPA and full scholarship to UT Austin, quickly went viral, sparking a heated national debate regarding immigration policy and the DREAM Act. While many supported her success, she also faced significant harassment and backlash, eventually leading her to deactivate her Twitter account. In the meme world, this event is often cited as one of the first major instances of a single tweet triggering a massive, polarized cultural discourse, frequently used to discuss themes of transparency, digital safety, and the 'main character' phenomenon on social media.
