If by giving up, you mean at life, then I have no words for you. But if you give up on being an American and seek life elsewhere, that I can respect.

America isn't everything and neither does God endorse America. America and Americans will someday die too. Find a place you call home and live the best you can as honestly and diligently as possible. That's your purpose in life.

As for me, I've been living under the same condition as yours for close to 15 years. I am seriously considering moving countries if the DA fails to pass and I can't afford my more advanced education.
