It would be a loss for America to let go of so many people they actually need.

The American public doesn't really think we are that special. Some of us, however, have the gift talents. If you listened to Durbin's speech last night, those he mentioned on the floor had an extraordinary background and talents. One guy is fluent in four languages and another guy has three degrees in his pocket.

What about us? We graduate with a degree. But the legals are capable of doing the same too.

However, the argument is not about how much we can bring; but how do we deal with the millions of undocumented aliens that are part of the economy????

All my family's here and legal, I love it here BUT not at the expense of my own happiness. I'm tired of waiting year after year for nothing. With a degree from the US you can make a lot out of your life, and I'm not willing to give one more day to a place that had ridiculous immigration clauses all over the place that eventually led to me (1) aging out of my family petition because I'm all of a sudden not an "immediate relative" to my own parents, and (2) one that still won't give me a chance to earn residency the hard way either.

I have way too much to offer than to waste one more second of my life here, and once I leave here, I will NEVER return to the US. If the US wants to keep the lazy people that take advantage of their system and are not willing to work to earn anything, then I say good luck to them cause all they'll have left will be a generation of people that feel they are entitled to being pampered by their government.

Kuryaki has a good point, it's because we're good kids that just try to quietly ask for support that's why no one pays us any mind. I'm done begging for a chance to prove myself "worthy" of permanent residency, it's clear that they don't see us as worthy. I'm seriously considering relocating to my home country.
