I can arealdy imagine you waiting to apply for food stamps once you are a citizen because gosh darn you paid your taxes for that , right ?


Yeah sue the company I am done lots of other companies will hire after you.

You can discuss legal technicalities all you want and maybe what they did perhaps did violate certain rights, but my advice to you is this: if they treated you well, then don't burn any bridges and go find another job for now.

Don't forget deferred action is simply a measure for the federal government to focus more on deporting bigger fish. They don't owe you shit.

Again, when someone inquires about your status, you simply say that you are legally authorized to work! There's no need to become a superhero and start explaining DACA coz nobody gives a shit and in fact they will start thinking adversely about you and this is how HR starts firing people. And I have seen this question here a lot. Our status right now is as follows: LAWFUL PRESENCE/LAWFUL STATUS, end of story. If I was in OP's shoes, I would have told the HR in that meeting that I have permanent lawful status. Fuck them. Sometimes you have to lie and this is actually not really a lie, DACA is guaranteed for the next four years and most likely onwards as well because there's a good chance a Democrat will take over and who knows by then there will be CIR.

It isn't fair for you to point the finger at everyone and condemn them for something they had no control over. Also, I am so tired of the food stamp complaints. It is a shame that citizens of the world are not fed, even though we have enough food to feed everyone. Especially in a first world country, the leading power house. It's shameful. I hope more people research the claims that they make. Instead of complaining about food stamps and talking about how much money is used to fund it (it is not as much as you think, please do your research. Maybe then you will stop spewing ignorant comments), which regardless of what you think, it feeds people, maybe you should complain about all the tax breaks that big companies get. But I guess it is easier to point the finger at the poor. Also, yes, we pay for our taxes. More so than the rich. So, if someone needs the help, by all means please get help. I bet that if all the people that complain about government assistance were to find themselves in a bind, they would be the first ones in line for food stamps and welfare.

It's disappointing to see comments like yours in this forum. Even though I like the information that we give to each other, at times it reminds me of the dreadful and disgusting yahoo article comments that are on every immigration story.
