It isn't as simple as just thinking: "Well, fuck the US. They don't want me here so I'll just go back to my home country and have a better life there..." No. It doesn't work that way. You have your life here, your friends, etc. You also feel (at least in my case, and I'm sure plenty of you feel the same way) that you have to give back to your parents...you have to re-pay them for what they've done. I can't believe people think we should blame our parents when all they did was to try to give us a better life. My parents left everything for my brother and I...and there is no day in which my mom doesn't feel guilty for putting me (my brother is still young so it doesn't affect him) through this.

Being undocumented isn't easy, we all know that...and it affects each and every single one of us in different ways. I'm lucky to say I've never thought about suicide, but it has definitely made me feel like pure crap plenty of times. I'm 22 and still feel like crap. Frustration builds up easily.

Let's not judge him...let's try to let him rest in peace.
