So yes you will get you're ss#, DL and chance to fly around the world but won't be able to afford the little luxuries in life.
When I became legal in May it felt so good but yet....the struggle continues. Have some compassion for Americans that will suffer because of this deal.

Its not only about not being able to afford the little luxuries because the poor get disproportionately taxed (even 15% of a barely livable wage has a far too negative impact then say 80 or 95% of the income of the richest (like before reaganomics took place)), its about not being able to find a job because the richest are exactly the people that have been sending the jobs overseas. Tax them more, give the government a lot more money, have them spend it on infrastructure like they did before Reagan got into office and we will achieve great advancements and create technologies that the world will want and that we will produce and export.
We created NASA, the national highway system, national icons, bridges, monuments, expansive rail system, and now NASA is postponing a launch because the spaceship has several flaws, bridges are falling down because there is no money to maintain them, national icons are so frail they are a hazard to visit and may only be seen from a save distance, the rail system and trains are running slower now then several years ago because the rails need to be fixed and modified and improved, and the streets have uneven surfaces with many holes that could be a potential for an accident for motorist not used to unexpected bumps in the road.
I mean, there is a lot of work that needs to be done, and all those jobs would require a lot of workers, and completion of those jobs will be a major investment to this country's infrastructure and increase the efficiency for future generations.
But know what, because they are ignoring all of this, my area of study is going to have a major boom in demand, because, my area is one that investigates why bridges fall down and things break or blow up when they are not supposed to. And business is increasing... as much as I would like to secure the demand for my potential job area (at least the one I am being trained for), I don't want to be investigating a catastrophic bridge failure that killed a couple hundred motorists because there was a crack forming on some brittle iron support system that was not caught because they skipped maintenance in order to save a couple hundred thousand dollars. Its irresponsibility at its worst in my opinion.
