I don't think he is being negative at all. We have a broken immigration system. He is stuck up in a situation on which neither he or his parents have any fault.

If something, every single member should be angry at their situation and have a sense of urgency imprinted, not only on themselves but on their language.

I do not meant the typical "oh, poor me, need the Dream Act for next week." Rather, I am being wronged right, I must do something to fix my situation. If someone steals something valuable from you. You do not wait until they feel sorry for you and give it back. You go and do something to get your valuable.

Again, you should be angry at the situation, not nativist, not government. The whole point of this is to change our situation, not the nativist point of view or the government way of doing stuff. Some people get so angry that they just want to hurt the other side. That is also harmful. You are not getting anything just pissing off someone else.

If you do not feel a strong sense of injustice, how are you going to persuade others that your pain is real? If this is not an unbearable situation, you are just telling both the government and to allies that your problem can wait.

If you are just asking for a hand out, keep waiting. You are asking for something you do not deserve and people have to worry about their own problems before doing charity. If you are asking for a right that is denied to you, then it is unfair. It needs to be fixed and if your lack of rights is producing unbearable pain, then it needs to fixed right now.
