Today I sit here in front of this computer thinking about the last string of hope that is available to a lot of us. A community that I belong to but did not choose to be part of. The story has repeated many times. It has been a rollercoaster to say the least, where at times glory was so close I could smell it, only to be followed by a hard dissapointment. Now, after experiencing too many of these dissapointments I prepare myself, like many others.

At times I image and visualize life after the fact…

At times I believe this can’t be happening…then I snap back to reality, assess my situation and find solutions for daily living.

In the next month or so the final round of action will happen and we will see. This will be the moment that will define how we will be living. If another dissapointment occurs I will try to numb it out; forget about it as if it never occurred continue in my invisible prison. If there is light at the end of this tunnel it will be as if I have been born again, a dream from which I have awaken from.

What makes you think this is our last hope?

There is a way to get it to pass if the Republicans take over.

I have a plan.

Some are given more burden than others in life, but everyone is given their fair share of trials that they have the choice of overcoming.

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.

Rep will bring it up, it will just be more tougher with securing borders and higher fines for undocumented.

Very well said.
