Immigration Hawks Think Congress Might Cut Legal Immigration In Return For Amnesty - Page 8

But it is true.

It's human nature.

Some of us would be the first ones closing doors if were born here.

Sad, but that's what it is.

It's simply called protecting what you have. I don't fault the right wingers for doing so, it makes sense in their heads so they do it. It makes sense in mine that I should get a greencard.

I also think that DACAs could get something thru the points system of RAISE.
RAISE leaves tons of open spots since the current bill is very barebones.

That's generalizing & highly offensive that it's not going to garner support or help our cause.

They followed the law, we could have left at 18 to accrue no legal presence and then come back through legal means but we chose to risk possible deportation & remain here for a possible legislation that might not happen.

Truth is no one owes anything and we aren't entitled to anything in life. Be glad that we have the luxury of DACA. We are here under troubled circumstances, but in no way does that mean we belong here. Fortunately, we have major support for those that support the DREAM act but that doesn't mean they should. Some are free to disagree with that legislation and they shouldn't be demonized for their opinions.

If you were in Brooks Brothers buying a Milano suit and there is a lane of 10 people. You go there to pay for the suit because only one cashier is working today. And you see this guy coming in all wet because it was raining and he is dripping water all inside the store, goes and pick up a OCBD shirt that is on sale, and skips the line of 10 people to go to the front to pay for it.

He then leaves with his new OCBD shirt without cleaning the floor from his dripping clothing. Then the only cashier goes to mop the floor to prevent anyone else from being injured while you are still waiting as the eleventh person. Would you be mad he didn't had to wait in line?

You are wrong sir. We didn't choose anything . We grew up here not knowing any other life . What American kid thinks about immigration laws?

That's what we are American kids. We are in this situation to no fault of our own no one American kid I know thinks about leaving the United States of America , their family and life at 18 so that they don't acquire unlawful presence.

Let's start recognizing this please .

Yes, we might be Americans from an emotional and cultural standpoint but in a legal sense, we are not and we can be deported due to this.

I agree we are here due to some unlucky misfortunes but that doesn't mean we should demonize those that oppose our movement and act entitled. Do we look like we're in the position of demanding?

We chose the risk to remain here onwards after 18 for the possibility of a legislation and yes there has been cases of those that have self deported 18 to do things the right way even before DACA.

Again the whole point I'm traying to get you to understan is that we didn't choose anything . godsavethequeen You are a victim please don't feel like you are at fault. You did not choose to break the law you choose to love and live the only life you have ever known.

Recognize that my friend we are not law breakers we are innocent casualties of the system . A system that extracted the Wealth and knowlage from our home countries a system that left our families in total dispair and poverty . What would you have done to give your child a better life . I'll tell you everything!

We should not excuse ignorance and lack of empathy fr others . Like that stupid Indian guy who came on the forum a few weeks back saying he did it the right way because his brother patition him and blah blah blah .

Just because he was lucky and his brother had the aportunity to have that knowlage of doing it the right way! Does not make him superior it makes him lucky .

And to that I say our parants are innocent as well most had no idea they were breaking the law because the knowlage and education was not there!

That I find a little hard to believe
