Hello everyone,

I feel incredibly lucky for everything that has happened so far. I left my country and over stayed my visa in the US because there were people showing up at my house with guns. I arrived here, like many of you, very young and in my case it happened to be at thirteen. Thankfully I was able to finish college and start a fantastic career, realistically I wouldn't have a problem finding a job anywhere with the experience and education I have had in the US.

I am extremely thankful for all of the opportunity I've had so far, and all of the great people I have met. But at the same time I am ready to go.

I'd love to have a pathway to citizenship, I love this country and the people, but if they don't love me back I'm ready to go. I am tired of being in the shadows, and it sickens me to see what my parents have gone through and how much worse it may get. Realistically there is a very good chance that either DACA will be revolked r my family will be at risk of or ordered to be deported. Either way I rather cash out and leave.

I have been fortunate enough to have had a well paying job, an American girlfriend whom I truly love, and friends I'll never forget. But I am willing to let it all becaus I am sick of feeling like an outsider. I am an American, I just happened to be born elsewhere and speak two languages,

I think a lot of people are in a similar situation. I think the best we can do is to consider ourselves as assets. After all immigration is self selecting, it took a lot of guts for our parents to make the journey here. They're not your average folks.

I hope nothing bad happens to us our families, but in the likely scenario it does, I hope everyone understands that we still have a lot of potential and if the US doesn't want us, we can still contribute imensilly somewhere else.

If this get worse for me or my family, I'm ready to check out, are you as well?

Trump's been in office for 10 days and DACA is still a thing.

Don't let them win by leaving.

That's right. I will succeed no matter where I am in this world; in light or shadow.

If I get ordered deported then so be it, I will comply with the order because at that point there is nothing else that one can do. But I won't leave of my own free will, and certainly not without a good fight. This is my home, and the only way I will leave is if I am ordered to do so and all of my appeals are denied.

Probably EWI like many of us. At this point, we are not even sure if I-601A waiver will survive or not.

Too late for me now, but if this was 1988 and I could go to Canada, I would have done that.
