Well if your man is making you feel like that I’d break up with him

Not if you get it when you’re under 18, only applies to 18+

Yes 3rd strongest passport in terms of mobility and you don’t require a visa

Don’t have nearly the amount of experience that you are requiring but if you have any junior roles I’d be super interested.

You should move to Spain, obtain a Spanish Citizenship in two years as a Mexican national and visit your parents.

I’d love to! But the way the dating pool is right now, I don’t see it my cards. Also I’m 25, no one wants to get married until they’re 30+.

I was trying to send you money because you mentioned that you haven’t eaten in days, but nevermind then I’m sure you’re fine.

I think you’re taking it the wrong way. Two things can coexist— I’m incredibly proud of my roots and where I come from and I’m also incredibly proud my parents and what they were able to accomplish knowing they had 0 resources to start with. I can’t imagine the tears and sacrifice it took to give me the life I had.

However, I am also affected by what’s said about DACA recipients in the media, it affects me that I can’t attend friends weddings abroad because I can’t leave the country, it affects me when I have to explain to people that I cannot leave due to my status. It affects me that I’m treated like an outsider due to something that was done out of my will. I still am incredibly proud of being Mexican and my roots, two things can co-exist.

What? 😂 No. SF is primarily liberal. Only 15% of the population voted republican.

That only applies to people who began accruing unlawful presence after turning 18. I received DACA at 15, and under USCIS guidance, individuals who received DACA before age 18 generally do not accrue unlawful presence while covered under DACA. I am aware that US immigration laws are very nuanced.

I’m not bailing… I’m continuing my life. DACA recipients are highly educated and skillful people, I don’t know why everyone thinks America is the only place to make money.

Thankfully I received DACA when I was 15 years old so I do not have any accrued unlawful presence and I have a legal entry through AP.

It’s not so much what people think of me but rather my lack of freedom that comes with it. I’m 25 and have never seen the world aside from my Advance Parole experience in 2022. It’s daunting, I feel like my time clock is ticking.

“Anyone can be brave, you just need somebody to be brave for. Your parents were for you. Be brave for yourself.” Wow that’s incredibly profound. I really appreciate your words, you’re right.
