You can do it too, and you can probably find ways to do it anonymously. I will help you. Are you interested?

(1) I came here when I was six years old so I didn't exactly "choose" to move here.
(2) I came with my family legally, so we didn't "choose" to be undocumented here. The legal system screwed us.
(3) I've lived here for almost 20 years. The economy/state of affairs was much different two decades ago in both the US and in Canada.

Thank you! I really do believe a lot of people are misinformed. They ask simple questions like "Well why didn't you try to get papers before your visa expired?" And the answer to that question is.... I did! And from there, I can walk them through the complicated processes and the bureaucratic mess that is our legal system.
Those types of explanations help them understand our frustration.
I'm a firm believer in the idea that opinions can change or, at the very least, polarizing perspectives can be somewhat neutralized if you can speak rationally and civilly.
A lot of naysayers believe undocumented people are uneducated, stupid, lazy, poor, non-English speakers. You and I both know this is completely untrue, but I can't just talk to you about it.... that's like preaching to the choir.
I answer those people's questions because no matter how you put it, I have their attention. They are listening to me. My story piqued their interest. And I know that I can challenge their preexisting prejudices. That's the only way to build a bigger support base... change people's minds, or at least help them understand why their vision is so narrow.
