Same here. I did my degree without the help of government funds, despite myself and my family being "taxpayers" . The only thing DACA has done for me is let me be able work legally, but I imagine, even if I didn't have it, I would be able to make something of myself elsewhere.

I also don't consider myself a "dreamer" in ideology. I don't think being in this country has given me any more opportunities than if I had stayed home. I used to think this country was welcoming and full of opportunities, but now after being done with school and having worked in oppressive conditions and dealing with immigration for more than 8 years, I think perhaps my time would have been spent best elsewhere where they would have perhaps appreciated and honed my talents better.
