I feel as American as native born citizens, but the truth is that is not the case RIGHT NOW. And there are some solutions that could give us permanent residence (marriage, family petitions, job sponsorships, etc). Get over yourself and realize that he's on our side and showing sympathy.

I agree we should be looking for our own way heck I even made a thread about that very thing here. But how much thankful are we suppose to be? We pay our taxes, we obey the law (aside from being here as we are But even then unlawful presence isn't a crime ) Many of us at this point will just settle with a 2 year EAD but we aren't going to just sit here and have you call us foreigners just because you got something we don't.


Calling us that is belittling he is telling us we are different from you now that you got yours you can air up and mighty looking down at us shaking your head muttering "damn beggars get like me"

DACA was a blessing since I was able to adjust my status and it allowed my parents to petition me at 17 years old.

When I meant by "beggars can't be choosers" was that be thankful for the United States to allow us to prosper even without legal status. Many other countries including my country of origin, Mexico, would have kicked our assess out immediately.

In the end, DACA was anot opportunity that I hope Trump replaces it with something better or even amnesty for only that particular grouo.
