Going back home or staying in the US as an illegal?

Now that Dream Act is dead, a lot of you have to make a choice here.

You can either continue to stay in the US illegally, or you can return home.

What will your choice be?

Is your life back home so bad that you prefer to stay in the US as an illegal than being a proud citizen of your native country? For those with US college degrees, why not just return and join the rank of middle class with a professional career?

America in the 80s were worth staying illegally, but not the bankrupt America of 2010s whose best days are behind.

Were screwed either way

I'd go back to my beautiful country, Costa Rica. My relatives live there and are rich. But U.S is my home.

I do not know what to do at this moment, though.

I've been here since I was 8 years old. I am now 29. I don't know what you call back home, but this is home for me since this is all I remember. There is no one left for me where I was born. If I do decide to leave, I'll have to stay at some hotel until I found something more permanent.

Staying

This country is the only country I know.

its not as easy as you think. at least in my country, Mexico, if you werent born into a rich country then 9 times out of 10 you will stay poor. Over there you are either rich or you're poor; theres no middle class like we have here in America.Its not too uncommon to see people with engineering degrees selling tacos in a street corner because of the practice of oligarchy..A lot of people tell me that I'd be better of over there because I know english, but guess what? A crap load of people in Mexico know english too; knowing how to speak english isnt a special thing anymore over there. I know my shit too because I actually lived in Mexico for a while unlike some of the dreamers who came when they were a month old..

i'm going home..

If I had family I would go back, my only family is here.

I'm fortunate enough to be only out of status unlike many of you guys who entered without inspection. If things get dire I can get married, but atm I rather live like this than live a farce in a sham marriage. I'm either really dumb, or really take marriage as being sacred.

Im staying here... I've been here since I was about 2 years old I'm now 20... this is the only home i know

I lived in my native country (in europe) for 13 years, im still fluent in my native language, I have a few families living there and I know my way how to survive and etc at my native country.

The problem is I dont have the money to move there, im only stuck with $200. All I can do is be patient and wait for my family petition (I have to wait about 6 month - 2 year)

With that, I staying here
