I would not blame your parents because what if they left you where you came from? The situation would be a lot worse.

Anyone who tells you otherwise has been really lucky or was raised to be a winner.

If your plan is to remain in the US you have two choices, get married or adopt a skilled trade that will pay very good money regardless of your legal status and wait for a reform or the DREAM act to pass in congress. If you want to have a prestigious job as an illegal alien you are SOL.

If you don't have clearly defined goals along with their dates of completion you are basically wasting your time. Sit down and think how you are going to become "rich" based on the stuff that you like to do and how you are going to invest the money you'll be making.

You are too old to be blaming your parents, let them be. You are no longer in a position to make demands, the moment you became an adult you became responsible for your own self. The more you work on your own stuff, the more you'll come to understand that you are in control of your life, and the more mature you'll become.

Do yourself a favor and buy this book, it will help you get those values not commonly instilled in lax or dysfunctional families.
Agreed.

Nope. I'm grateful to my parents for the opportunity to be in this country. Had I stayed in my birth country, I would probably be raising chickens, cows and sheep instead of spending time working on a modest education. There's no doubt in my mind that my parents had the best interest in mind and their decision was indeed what was best for me.

I used to. I blamed my mother for several things in my life, but as I grew older I realized that I might've not grown up with the same mentality I have today. You cannot blame your parents, it's up to you now. Educate yourself and perhaps you'll figure it along the way. Your life is in your hands.

No. I wouldn't even consider what they did a crime. You should be thankful you got an opportunity at an American education. Hopefully you took advantage of it and didn't throw your life away like some people I know

I love my parents; this life is lots of fun. Besides, they did nothing wrong, this world belongs to no one.

To OP, ask yourself this simple question. Did your parents know before moving that the policy in the United States of America would be this restrictive towards immigrants? In fact, we all felt that it would be the complete opposite. I used to blame my parents as well but I've grown out of that ill conceived mentality. Nobody is to blame and there is nothing to blame about here. Learn how to be forgiving in life and most importantly forgive yourself. To all those Dreamers who are still in college, try not to see yourself in the same playing field as the rest of your friends. This is definitely not to say that they are superior than us. And finally to Dream Class of 2011, I would like to congratulate you. To those who are going to graduate in the coming semesters, don't bug out at the thoughts of what you're going to do after graduation. I'm speaking from experience. That was on my mind 24/7 even when I was sleeping and made me extremely nervous in front of all other students in college and also affected my class room performance during presentations and what not. Almost half a year has passed by since my graduation and I can say it isn't even half as bad as I thought it would be. Trust me, your attitude will change and mature. You will start thinking logically and try to find the roads that are available to you as an undocumented individual.
