We all have our own opinions. My parents made a decision. I do resent them to some extent for the negative consequences that their choices had on me. You don't have to agree with me, but my opinion is not any less valid than any of yours. I don't subscribe to the parents can't do no wrong bullshit, and so we must all be eternally grateful. Just because you have a good intension, it doesn't mean that you are blameless for the consequences that your choices have on other people. To whoever said something about self deporting at 18. Yeah... how with what money and to where? It's an impossible choice. It's not like we had anywhere to go or even documents to show where we came from. Hate all you want. Doesn't change anything.
