Today at 4:00 pm (EST), TIME hosts its first Google Hangout On Air with Jose Antonio Vargas, the author of this week’s cover story, “We Are Americans.”
Vargas, a self-described “undocumented American”, has received strong reactions from readers online — particularly after President Obama announced the day after TIME’s story that the government would stop the deportation of some 800,000 young immigrants.

Now, we’re looking to TIME’s followers on Google+, Facebook, Twitter, and Tumblr to help continue the conversation. Joining Vargas will be TIME’s Associate Social Media Editor Amy Lombard, as well as Roy Naim, Gaby Pacheco, Tatevik Keshishyan and Renata Teodoro — four people who came out as undocumented immigrants in this week’s issue.
