Apparently age thus matter and also the fact that she hasn't been there for the last 20some years. In late 2011 my brother decided that he could not take it any more and in March of 2012 also left. We came to this country when he was 6yrs old and I was 4yrs. My mother tried in different occasions to legalized our situation but something always went wrong. Who would of known that if he would of just waited 3 more months. I can't wait for this law to pass so I can bring them back home.

I know! All my family went back to Mexico in May 2011. Needless to say both my parents are over the age of 45, have not been able to find jobs. The school system didn't even want to accept my siblings school records because who knows why so my parents have to enroll them in an "escuela abierta" or school for adults/drop outs. My sister didn't qualify for Financial Aid so she had to drop out of college after one semester. And the rest of the family was like "oh well" and didn't help them out one bit. It really sucks over there and I think the best decision of my life was to not go back with them.
