lol i love how you feel the need to win this

and Lu i get that, but it doesn't really excuse waiting till your in the 30's for the DA esp if you have your degree. By then you should be seriously looking at your options. Like if your in your 20's it's a bit whatever you still have time, but come on 30 you should be setting up your life, to say the least.

All, my brother turns 31 in Jan 16 2011, considering that the age limit gets changed to 30 , would he still qualify for DA if it passes??(not taking into account the retroactive aspect)
He was 10 when our parents brought us here and he has a bachelors degree...He currently has a great job with a company thats sponsoring him now...but this process is a long one...

Stop talking about a situation you know nothing about. As always Duke, stop while your ahead because other peoples money can't help my situation.

im always ahead when im arguing with you syd. And you can claim w/e bs u want, but just the fact that youve been thinking about going back since u were 14 or 15 w.e it was, shows that you have nothing to talk about here. Honestly people like you ought to gtfo so our number isnt 2.1 million anymore. Maybe then the GOP wont have to fuck with people who actually care about this country and actually did something for our cause.

Question is what will You do if dream does not pass?? You are now entering the age where most of your friends are driving and taking trips overseas and have SS numbers. So if it doest pass and the next time it is brought up(in 2016 lol) oops you are too old for the new age cap of 18?? oops.

See I have a SS, License and BS and pursuing my MS. Even if dream act fails, I will still be able to drive, still be able to go to USCIS and ask them if they would like some doughnuts or coffee. I just won't be able to go to my birth country (eventhough there is a bill that has been introduced to give those with TPS a greencard from my country. So I could say screw the DREAM act and focus on the TPS bill but that wouldn't be fair now would it? Point is your "status" should enable you to think selflessly but hey thats just the way it is right??
You talk like TPS is going to be around for ever. Shit I had a friend from Sierra Leone who thought the same thing.

Then on May 3, 2004, nationals of Sierra Leone (and aliens having no nationality who last habitually resided in Sierra Leone) who have been granted TPS under the Sierra Leone designation or redesignation will no longer have TPS status.

Here is my final assesment of this unecessary quarrel...

Some people here made unwise statements, specially under such situations where DREAMers are now been divided based on the new possible age restrictions. Everyone here, even though we are all under the "undocumented" status, have different lives and specific situations. For anyone to assume anything about the other (just because we all are undocumented and assume we all live similarly) based on their own personal experience is a bit premature.

It's sad even that some would ask very personal questions regarding their "old" age and status in life (when we all know everyone who is borderline on t he age restrictions is very nevervous and emotional at the moment).

There. End it.

Let's move on. Please, lock this thread and perhaps start a new one under the same news headline.

I really have no idea why you are all arguing, I'm 30 so if the younger age limit passes I'm hosed. I worked construction all my life so there wasn't a need for college for me. It's sad and a shame and I think it's garbage, but what can you do? Attacking each other over it wont make matters better.

My family and all my friends are here, Sure I can go back to Canada, but what is in Canada for me? A life with no family, friends, and having to work from the ground up. Which is better then going back to somewhere like Mexico sure, but it's hard. We all have different paths and trials we have to deal with in our life. We should all support each other, otherwise we are no better then hypocrites who don't want DA passed anyways.


What if they amended it where only children of USC or green card holders were able to apply for DA how many people would that screw over? How many would be happy about it? A lot would be hurt and upset about it, even though the child of a USC regardless of age should be able to get a green card no matter what.

Whatever happens will happen, I hope the best for all of you whatever passes.
