What are your thoughts since all of the bills failed to pass the Senate today? - Page 4

After nothing happening in December I was half expecting this. If there’s no action by mid March im planning on doing a graceful exit. I’ve been here for almost 19 years and still feel unwanted and unappreciated, hard to plan a life when we don’t know what’s going to happen in the next month or two! I’m just too tired of all this uncertainty and refuse to give my best working years to a country that is still unwilling to accept me.

I called my mom crying at work after the last bill was dead. She told me to stop acting selfish. Her exact words echo in my head.

She said:

"Did you not think of us? America sympathizes with you, they invested in you, they won't let you go. They will make you guys mental by leaving you in limbo, but they won't let you go.But us, one step wrong and it's all over. Stop being so selfish, you have DACA there are ppl out there who don't. We made a choice and you had to pay the consequence. We know you're struggling, but child we did what we thought was good for our family. They call you Dreamers, but we , the parents who brought you here are the original dreamers. We dreamed our children would live lives happier than ours. We had dreams for you before we knew you. You have your education, if this country doesn't want you, forget it go to another one. But I don't think it will come to that child. They want you here, I have faith something with work out for you. For now live you're life, be happy, pray and have faith that God will take care of you. And also know that you have our prayers to protect you. You need not worry about anything child."

This calmed me down dramatically. I was able to get thru the rest of the work day and overtime meetings. The power of a parents words.

Your mother is a wise woman. America needs our talent. If they won't some other 1st Country will.

If anyone lives in Orange County California.
And want's to hang out and talk .

Let me know.

Some of us take these type of news harder than others.

Nice try ICE

I took a shot of Jameson and came to work.

Damn! You caught me.

Being at the gym is the only place I forget about the world.

Then reality hits again.

i am at peace.

fate has a plan for us that we dont know yet.

DACA Injunction was the best example, we did not see that coming.

I think the vote came as expected. It was not shocking at all.
