Latinos Divided Over What to do About Undocumented, Most Advocate for a Fine

Then again I think out of everyone I'm the only one that is strong enough to handle being undocumented as long as I have, the rest of my family is way too impatient to handle it and I don't know if they'd have been able to endure it as long as I have.
I would love to pay a fine in order to drop the "undocumented" title, I'd work hard and pay it off, at least let us have that option.

Shakira is also from Colombia, there are some ridiculously hot women from Colombia, but it does not make the country any safer, even to have lots of money could become a liability, average income is about 3.6k per year, a professional graduated from college can expect to make about twice as much as that straight out of college.

I just want to be able to go there but not be forced to live there.
