That's what some people did including journalist Jose Vargas.

I lawyer told me about the possibility back when my bro got his DACA. She said the chances were slim though but probably things have change. One of my cousins applied for asylum, several of her in-laws have been killed, long story short, too much drama. She is here with a bracelet and was given a 6 month work permit. Some people who have been in deportation procedures seem to be getting delays and work permits for one year or so, depending on the case and lawyer but it seems that is easier for a woman. Since I am afraid of nothing at this point, I am going to do it! Damn it. I am going to talk to a lawyer and prepare my case and will see how it goes.
Thanks to everyone for their concerns. It does mean a lot to me. It is not a matter or better off but actual wealth. All the cousins who were rational enough not to date cops or narcos are getting good office jobs with benefits even if they don't have college diplomas. A good chunk of them applied and received low income housing from the government. They live at home and rent the houses and is extra income. I can afford luxuries they can't but they are using the resources available to accumulate wealth. The way I see it, we are going to wait until we get old. Is a lot of things combined. I cannot keep working in manual jobs that only keep me well enough to keep working. Take Care.
