It's illogical. There is a high possibility that it may not happen. It's too late. Many of us already built something in this country. Lots of DACA recipients:

-bought homes
-gave birth to US citizen children
-started businesses
-obtained degrees or some sort of high education

The supreme court has a mess on their hands as CNN stated.

The SC is highly formed with conservative judges at this moment. Yes, I understand. But think about what would happen to all DACA recipients who already built something in this country. Those who already occupied certain occupations in the public sector. I want to be optimistic that we will see a change (most likely) but it wont be overturned.

Don't be so negative.

In my case, I was recently married. I am a big advocate for happiness over anything material in this world. With that being said, I am hoping to fix my status via my marriage. If the mentioned does not materialize, than I will just find another way to survive in this country or perhaps Canada for me.

Easy to say to be optimistic when you are trying to AOS and have the option to do so.

I am not being negative. Just replying to the comment about the fact that SC has mess on their hands. They could have ignored the mess and continued status quo.

Oh (laugh in Spanish) trust me, its not that easy to be optimistic being married. All single dreamers have the option to adjust via marriage. As long as you don't look like Dani Trejo.

Right. They cannot ignore it. They decided to take on it because (well, orange cheeto) its what they're being payed to do. Still, for every action, there is a reaction. It's a political tool the pig in office is using to his convenience at the moment. Worrying about it now will not change anything. I lived undocumented until i turned 24 which is when DACA was established. I am not afraid of losing this document. In fact, I remember being much stronger mentally back then.

I am EXTREMELY afraid of losing this document. I couldn't drive, couldn't fly, couldn't legally work. Went from $7.75/hour (under the table and the employer use to take out taxes - even though I had not provided him a SSN) to 6 figure salary.

Anyone not afraid to lose this document has another way of adjusting or is delusional.

P.S. - No, I am not panicking just yet. I don't think they can get rid of us so easily.

It's more delusional to think your life is over by losing a document. It was nothing but uphill for me after DACA. Went from $12.50/hr to buying a home, forming my own company (small), earning six figures annually.

Before DACA, I managed to obtain a license (don't ask me how). Point is, I already built something. I'm not going to sit here and cry just because a group of politicians decided to fuck with my status. I am much stronger than that.
