For one thing, they are still here legally and don't have to live in fear of deportation every time they go out. For this and other reasons, life is easier for them.
As for being legally obligated to leave, I agree that must be fixed but in all truth they don't face an official 10 year ban like an undocumented Dreamie would if he/she were deported.

Knowing some of the legal dreamers of the site, their life is not easier. I am not going to say that my hardship is worse or better. Every situation carries its own demons. God knows that half the hardship will be just getting the damn green card. The real hardship will start when we are force to deliver the promise of a greater America.
Another example, I speak perfect Spanish and my mother owns a home in Mexico. I have many relatives in Mexico and several citizen/legal resident uncles. Many DAP members are from China and have no relatives or knowledge of the language. IF we are deported the same day, just because my situation is a little easier, does not mean that being kick out to Tijuana without money to dangerous streets is easier, not to me, hell no.
Instead of wondering who has the worst situation or who suffers the most, we should all feel compassion to the pain of others and realize that is our own struggle. Unite that energy into a force that will achieve the goals of everyone.
