What am I up to now? I live a bit of a double life that isn't exactly the stereotypical "undocumented" one. It's hard to describe, and even harder to believe, but I've somehow infiltrated myself into one of those "jobs a million people would kill for." I am constantly around A-list people and many have probably seen my production work on TV, magazines, billboards. Somehow, I've managed to .. well, "educate" some pretty powerful people in the business about the DREAM Act and that we exist in hopes that they give us their support and expose that there is a situation that needs to be handled without fully exposing myself.

I also work as a freelance web designer and photographer which has earned me quite a client list with a lot of hard work, tears, and sometimes blood.

Safe to say I've worked extremely hard for what I've been able to accomplish and even though there are times where I'm incredibly frustrated, there are things out there that need to be done, just push for them. I admire a good amount of people here for working hard and not giving up, especially those who have been able to finish school one way or another. We are what America needs as we define being Americans even if we don't have a paper or card saying so. We are hard working, determined, multi-cultural, and above all, proud of what we've been able to do.

Log in and read, but never been much of a poster. I made the calls, sent the faxes and all. Do you all remember where you were and how you felt when Dream in 07 got voted down in the senate?

Or remember the CIR bill in 06'? Deals like the Hutchinson-Pence Amendment I would take in 5 seconds now if it was offered,

I'm not in the forums very often anymore... but i used to be.

I finished college on 2008 and moved to Mexico right after. Now I'm working and doing a master's here.

I think in '08 when I graduated I was SOOO close to leaving too then....dun dun...I fell in love....now I don't know what to do. Sometimes I think about moving to Canada because I think it would be good for both of our careers but his is so specific that well...Canada may not be the best option for him. BUT anyway...back to you and Mexico lol
