Bueno, this is my story

I was brought to the US when i was one year old, I think I was smuggled across the border. Ive been here for about 19 years, I know my parent brought me here so that I could have a better life... but I have nothing to compare it to.

I knew I didn't have a SS# as a kid but I really didn't know what that meant, and I didn't for a while. People always just assumed that I was from the US so I always went along with it, and it was pretty easy until my senior year of high school. I had no idea what I was going to do. I chose to put off college because I did not want to miss any opportunity's whether it were internships, traveling for a class a club, or job offers. I also did not want to play my dads "I'm going to pay for your education, no I'm not, yes I am" game.

I chose to move in with my boyfriend and wait for the Dream Act to Pass. It was really hard to sit at home and watch him do everything I wish I could be doing (School and working), I was really depressed for that first year. I'm very glad that he tries to be understanding and supportive, because he helped me find find things to distract myself with and a great job.

Last December when they voted on the Dream Act it was probably the toughest thing Ive ever sat through, every no was just a slap in the face. I had really gotten my hopes up, I had even started applying for schools. After that I decided that I was going to stop waiting around for politicians to get something done, I was going to go to Mexico!

My boyfriend and I decided to go with a fiance visa instead. Best case scenario I'm back in the US in a couple of month, worst case scenario we both live in Mexico until I can get approved but we both learn to speak Spanish fluently. This time next year Ill be in Mexico hoping to get approved first time around.

I really applaud you guys that are in your mid twenty's and older. I don't have that patience or the faith. I sometimes believe that they are afraid of passing the Dream Act, because for me being a dreamer has given me a drive to become successful. We are more driven than the majority of Americans out there, and I believe that many Americans are worried of what we can become.

I plan on getting m boyfriend and maintaining my Mexican citizenship, so say the Dream Act never passes and this whole country falls down the pooper, because its being run by politicians who cant get anything useful done. We can just retire in Mexico with all the money I will make.

Welcome, it's good to hear that you took things into your own hands. Stories like this remind me that it's still our lives and we can deal with them as we like despite obstacles. Also very refreshing to hear such confidence, best of luck to you and your boyfriend in Mexico.

This reminds me of that thread I posted where the girl wanted to go to Mexico...

Why is it that every dreamer girl I read about on here has a boyfriend and has either, married him or moved in with him.. Every single one!! Where are all the independent Dreamer girls at!!!

I mean c'mon .. This isn't the 50's or 60's lol... It's the same story over and over again... You don't need a man to be successful in life girls... Just thought I mention that just in case you haven't heard that before..

It's sad that we are closer then ever and yet some don't have the strength to waited out..

"maintaining my Mexican citizenship" I say choose one or the other.

That's a little harsh don't you think? You are pretty much saying that if we have boyfriends or husbands we are not independent. I don't follow the logic there. Don't make us out like we are timid little sheep latching on to men to get it easy in life, not cool and pretty insulting. Are you just hating because you lack a woman? I don't think you can be mad at a Dreamer girl for being so awesome that it didn't take long for them to find a good guy.

Possibly but then again possibly not...

And it sure does seem like that Hannie..


Life Diggers much... Oh! Yea I went there... Sorry girls..

Making assumptions again LD

First of all please tell me you are kidding about choosing one or the other. Having dual citizenship is the best, I'm going to go from being a girl without a country to a girl with 2.

Secondly, if I weren't living with my boyfriend I'd probably be living in Mexico because I cant live with my dad. And even if I were able to live with my dad I'd most likely be dependent of him and working a dead end job that I hate as oppose to a job that I love and am getting something out of.

LifeDreamer, don't go judging us girls just because we found good guys to snatch us up, I'm sorry you cant be as cute as some of us Dreamer girls. But I'm sure that someday you'll find your special someone. In the mean time I'm going to do something about my self so that I can achieve what I want and be fully independent. Instead of trying to be fully independent right now when its the most difficult, because I don't know if you realize this but we basically have the same rights as women did in the early 20th century (by the way Woman gained "equality" around the 20's ).

I truly hope you girls are happy with those guys.. To bad most of us Dreamer guys will be the most successful one day.. No ordinary life for me!!

Don't degrade these girls. They are and will be successful in their own right. They are lucky to have found someone that loves them enough to take care of them but that doesn't mean they aren't planning ahead, saving up money, looking into their education, fighting for DREAM Act, and being productive in other areas. One day they might even be your boss! So don't say something as absurd as that statement. Our routes might be different but the ending will be the same: success!

Hahahaha...


On a side note! Being cute is not all it takes for us guys, so it's not that easy...

We have to provide you girls with a place to stay and provide a lot of things as providers..

You can't denied that was one of the reasons you decided to stay with that particular guy ... I bet they are not even that cute at all...

oh well I guess it gives me hope for the future.. Get the money and you will get the girls...
