We all know that its human nature to be selfish, some on here apparently feel the need to exemplify this human nature repeatedly, so yes I understand why so many on here have the opinion of getting the DACA situation fixed first (notice I didn't say only). And if congress successfully protects us DREAMers first than by all means let work towards it and celebrate it if we get it, then we use that momentum to get a solution for our family, friends, and neighbors who weren't as lucky as us. Who may have missed the deadline by a few weeks, or who have been slightly too old to benefit. But to call yourself better than other immigrants because you have DACA or to call your situation more important, more dire than others is frankly disgusting. I would hope that having gone through the struggles of being an undocumented immigrant prior to receiving DACA, to know what it feels like to live everyday in the shadows or in fear of deportation we as a community of DREAMers and DACA recipients would be a little more sympathetic and accepting of our brothers and sisters facing similar struggles. This forum has changed a lot since I 1st joined in back in 2009, and sadly not always for the better...
