new news about deferred action - Page 7

I'm upset people hire a lawyer, when they can read and comprehend English. My cousin did that.. I thought they were crazy!!!! to pay someone $1000 that throwing money away!!!!

People should have some sort of logic and see when someone is trying to pull your leg. I am not trying to be an ass, but if you don't feel comfortable filling out some simple forms then something is wrong. Its not like the lawyer will represent you in court. The lawyer also doesn't take care of your stuff. The employees are the ones that fill out the forms. I personally wouldn't trust the retarded employees.

and yeah i am insecure here, this isn't exactly something to be so damn confident about, hello...anything can happen why don't people GET THAT...now that Ive done research all night into the morning and still now, most lawyers ive came across all say that we still need to acknowledge its still pretty much a risk. Even if obama was to win, daca can still be rejected...with all those hicks in office it does freak me out a bit, i don't keep my hopes up high because i know i should always be prepared for the worst. They were saying its actually safer if young people who are not close to 30, should kind of wait a little while, because WHAT IF something does happen in the future? You never know, so wait it out and just see how it plays in the meantime, i feel like doing that now -.- but hey i have almost every kind of anxiety and im quite paranoid...so that doesn't help me as a person -.-

Holy shit dude, walls of text galore.

Not sure if serious, but people that applied KNEW THAT AND GET THAT. It's been 11 years since Dream Act has been trying to be passed. This is the "stop-gap measure" we get, fuck yea we'll take those chances to get out of limbo.

Anything can happen, its true. You can get struck by lightning would that stop you from going outside your door? I sure hope not.

You don't need a lawyer to tell you that. Lawyer's words are not embroidered in gold. They also get their information from.. guess what? THE SAME SHIT WE DO.

Okay, go sit in the corner and pay the lawyer money to not do anything. We tried reasoning with you but your paranoid ass is being paranoid.

You just repeated everything you said for your conclusion. Oh and keep paying that lawyer fees and uscis fees for her to not do anything. Genius level.

lmao!!!!

I will go through this in stages for u.

Guys dont like a girl to be full of herself, but insecurity is also a turn off. Just pointing that out so u can have something to think about when ur no longer thinking about a possibility of being deported.

U are right..."anything can happen," and as a result DACA finally did. looking at the glass half empty all the time is a depressing way to live...dont u agree?

Just listen to this and ease ur mind. Bob Marley - No Woman No Cry or The Fugees version...i like both.

It is a risk, however all rewards require a little risk dont u agree? They have said they will not deport anyone rejected (except the criminals of course lol). U have no choice but to take their words at face value.

Just look at it like this...u will either continue the life u've always had, or u will be able to live a life with SO MUCH more opportunities. Isn't that worth a risk?

If that's ur argument then u are unfortunately VERY misguided. U are safe as long as DACA is not disbanded. At this point u cant assume that DACA will be there forever. However u MUST assume that ANY immigration policy granted for people like ourselves will apply to all DACA recipients.

In other words, those that skip out on this opportunity may miss the next one. So far there is no reason to believe anyone will be rejected, so why do u believe u will?

Any questions that begins with "what if" is a rhetorical question, and i dont entertain those. What if i was born in the United States like my brother and sisters? What if i was over 31 at the time of the announcement? What if my family decided to wait until i got a Visa to come to the United States? What if questions are a waste of time. They dont do anything but limit u and hold u back. If u keep living about the past and questioning the future then u will never be able to embrace the present.

I dont know about u, but this DACA announcement is the first time i have felt good about my present situation in a long time. I wish u luck in the future, as it looks like ur leaning towards not applying. If that's the case i hope it works out for u. I on the other hand am confident enough in myself to take this opportunity and SHIT on anyone that has doubted me.

Life is a gamble. Nothing in life is truly secure. I know many of us are sick of this wait and see approach; we have been waiting for a whole decade to see an opportunity like this to come along, and now is no time to hesitate. We are all getting older and our time is valuable. The risk is worth what we will gain.

Here's another interesting "what if." What if Romney gets elected and he decides not to take any more DACA applicants, so only those who applied before his presidency will get to benefit from deferred action, and all those who waited get left behind.

Sometimes you have to just roll the dice with an opportunity like this and move with life however it may go.

Title on this should be "Pitty Party" ... this is not news buddy and it only discourages people from applying! most of us are here to help or ask for help but we're all in the same situation and we're all DREAMers but with the attitude you've chosen to carry yourself even if you do get DACA or DA your going to be stuck in the same place.... by the way I did get pregnant at 15 and no I don't brag about it but I'm not ashamed because I'm a great mother and wife it hasn't stopped me from wanting better for myself so don't underestimate yourself or others for making mistakes!

That was random.

lol PO said "atleast I didn't get pregnant..." and hey good for her but sounded like its a shameful thing and to me its not
