It meant a great deal to Jess Montejano, a second generation Mexican American, that President Obama supported students with legislation like the American Opportunity Tax Credit. Because of this tax credit, Jess was able to receive an extra $1000 when he filed his 2009 taxes. With this extra financial support, he was able to pay his bills and focus more on his studies.

Para Jess Montejano, un mexicano-americano de segunda generación, el apoyo del Presidente Obama para los estudiantes a través de leyes como el Crédito de Impuestos de Oportunidad Americana significa mucho. Gracias a este crédito de impuestos, Jess recibió $1000 adicionales cuando declaró sus impuestos en 2009.

President Obama ended his two-day tour of Ohio and Nevada with a grassroots event in Las Vegas.
