Now 31, Arce moved to Texas at age 11 and later attended university in-state. (Undocumented immigrants are able to enroll in public universities in Texas.) She then found her way to Wall Street after interning at Goldman and using a fake green card bought for a "few hundred" dollars.

The forged documents got her through all the necessary background checks and served her for years (she made Vice President in her 6th), until she married her college boyfriend and exchanged her fake green card for a real one.
