Instead look to the Supreme Court ruling to their statement: [The Court ruled that such a law was unconstitutional, stating, “children can neither affect their parents’ conduct nor their own undocumented status.” (457 U.S. 202)] As for turning 18 and shedding the classification of "minors," I am currently working on an argument for that, which I will post soon.
I don't shy away from the fact that we're breaking the law. I'm willing to get right with the government if they would provide a way for me to stay. Even if that means paying money, doing community service, anything that contributes to this nation.
Ditto.

The problem is that we didn't make the descition to COME here, whether it was legally or not. We are now living the consequences of our parents' actions.
Yupp, thats like getting dropped off at school knowing its sunday...
