Abstract	In this personal essay, Aurora Chang describes her experience of "hyperdocumentation"--the effort to accrue awards, accolades, and eventually academic degrees to compensate for her undocumented status. In spite of her visible successes and naturalization, Chang still confronts the rage and intolerance of American "commonsense" beliefs about immigration. Her narrative questions the pursuit of documentation as a means to legitimacy and acceptance in American society. (Contains 3 notes.) (As Provided).
