I am saddened by the situation america has put us through. I have been living here my entire life and my mother started our process of becoming residents 8 years ago meaning I have about two years left. I graduate this year.. top 10 percentile of my class to be honest. Have never driven,worked a decent job or even have the chance to attend an in-state school. I am seriously appalled at how america can do this to us. I love this country so much more then I love my own and for the reform to not be ready is just saddening... My mother pays taxes (she has a ssn that was provided solely for the purpose of paying taxes) I just joined the forum and I wanted to introduce myself because I will be coming here and posting alot
