here is the thing about this kind of situation.
there are multiple people at fault here.
first and foremost is our terrible garbage former president, obama for misleading people, giving false hope, and maintaining this air of being unsure if you should leave or stay here.
secondly, i am tired of this victim complex that plagues so many people i know; illegal, both mexican and other nationalites.
(this guy is an exception, because his wife is sick, so ICE should proceed with caution, and maybe he can stay under a "duress" exception.)
it's not the end of the world if you get deported.
don't allow people to paint you as a victim, as if you're a fucking child that politicians from BOTH sides just use as pawns.
do you know how pathetic it is when you have to have a fucking lawyer speak for you while your kids are crying because you don't tell them what's really going on?
take control of the situation.
save up money, etc.
4000 us dollars can get you very far when you're back in your country.
