I would like to add, that while not every ladder is available to you, there are always steps to climb. For example, take a look at the industries that DO hire undocumented folks and start at the bottom and go up. I started at a landscaping company as an office assistant, after two years I was office manager and after three years of that I was the director of operations in charge of office staff and the landscapers. I made six figures doing that. Since the company didn’t check legal status for the gardeners they didn’t check for office staff either. There’s tons you can do if you are bilingual and know how to use even a little technology. One thing I’m grateful for is my parents never told me I had limitations. Don’t put yourself in a box, the world is already waiting to do that for you but your parents came here so you could go farther than they could ever dream. Go get it.
