Parents always do the best for their children, specially our parents that are inmigrants, I wouldn't pay no attention to anybody calling my parents criminals or soever cause think about it this society has more corruption than any one and plus the moral codes here are far from good compare to our countries, so do not worry about they way they feel, and stop calling yourself a criminal cause you are not, and I wouldn't blame my parents neither. wish you luck and even thou I feel sad about the reform, I will never lose my faith. |

First off I'd like to congratulate you on your high GPA and I wish you continued success in your academic career. I honestly mean that.
For the past few weeks you have executed the most vibrant display on this issue that you could muster. Now with this piece of information I understand your thinking. By not being a citizen of this country you are not afforded the exclusive right, privilege nor luxury to even be a participant in this process. Not once did you ever think of how a bill of this nature could affect this entire country and every one of her citizens. Your thought in this matter concerned you and only you. You claim to "love" and "appreciate" this country. Yet your thoughts, words and actions speak differently. Here, a country who has provided you with the wonderful life you lead and your thought of repayment and respect is, "To heck with what this bill could do to this country as long as I get MY legal status". You should be absolutely ashamed of yourself. If you are not, don't worry Metro, this country and her citizens will once again take up your slack and be ashamed for you. |

The bottom line is that you are here illegally. Breaking the law makes you a criminal. Period.
By the way, I cant afford to take my family to Disneyland and WE LIVE in the United States. Your family couldnt have been too bad off if they were able to afford a vacation to America. |

Yes, because you said you wouldn't invite us to your party the other day.
If that isn't a crime.... |

The bottom line is that you and your parents are in this country illegally . There is, however, a way you can fix that. First of all, since you were a minor at the time, It was your parent's fault. All you need to do is go through the naturalization process and become a true U.S. citizen. And no, you are not the criminal in this situation. |

You want me to understand what exactly? How old are you now? In what year did your parents come, and bring you to U.S? I need more info before I can give you a complete and honest answer.
This part you wrote - "The only way I can be legal is if the DREAM Act passes in congress"
No - actually you'll still be illegal, but "legal" in a sense to sponge taxpayer dollars to fund your education. Did your parents and you contribute anything to taxes? |

I'd arrest you in a heartbeat. You're illegal. It's your job and problem to sort that out. SOB stories don't go anywhere with me. I've heard hundreds of them.
I don't care about your GPA or how tough you had it. The Law says you are illegal and it would be my job to incarcerate you and turn you over to Immigration for deportation. Nothing personal. It's the law, and we are a nation of laws. You should try following them and self-deport yourself.
Edit:
"The only way I can be legal is if the DREAM Act passes in congress"
Not a chance in hell. |

You have posted this more than once, why do you keep asking the same question when you know the answers are going to hurt |

You have not done anything illegal, your parents have. I do not consider you a criminal. You have lived in the U.S. for most of your life right? This is home to you. Is there anyway for you all to live in the U.S. legally? I do not know anything about immigration laws, but there should be a way to make it legal. |

Cry me a river Metro. All your answers are pro-illegal so you must identify with them.
Yes you are illegal. congrats on the 4.0, I only have a 3.96.
When you were brought here you were a child and had no say in the matter. Now you do, you are illegal. I would say get a lawyer and explain the situation and send your criminal parents back. Of course you won't do that they are your parents. I only wish I knew who you were for real so I could report you. You are pro-illegal and don't deserve to be here. You are doing nothing for this country, but your views on here show that you are a willing tool of the people who want to destabilize our country. |

If you are a Polish citizen,then you are a EU member. You can go to any EU country and live and work.I am a American who lives part-time in Hungary,I know things can be tough but there are jobs here and alot of young people get roomates just like in the states. I feel bad for you but you speak English and you really can have a good life in Europe. .....my dad was born in Poland..Also they do have a green card lottery over here in Europe,you could try that and go back to the states legally.It really isn't that bad over here anymore... |

I have nothing against ppl who really have no choice & strive to be Americans.
It is the free loaders that use this country & make fools of us & have no respect! |

I know some folks who have left the US to work in Poland. If you're a good citizen, then you'll do fine in your motherland. As for breaking the law, that is what determines you're a criminal. It sounds like you want to stay in the US. Do you want to be a citizen? If so, do the right thing. |

I do no consider you a criminal since it wasn't by your choice. Technically you'd be an illegal immigrant, being that your status here is illegal, but as far as anybody I know is concerned, the worry isn't that people are comming to the US... it's the effects it has on us. The problem comes when they aren't doing the things you have listed like paying taxes, keeping a job, staying off of welfare, and taking care of the their own healthcare costs, and staying out of trouble. I'd say do what you can to become a citizen as soon as possible, and remember; America was built on freedom and immigration, if you're doing what a true citizen should, I've got nothing agianst you or your family. |

In my perspective, you are not a criminal. I judge people on their motives for taking certain actions, just the actions itself. Besides, you have not inflicted harm or damage on anyone or anything, instilled fear on anyone else, or do anything immoral by simply coming here. |

You are not a criminal by choice, but you are here illegally.
Your parents broke laws getting you and then here.
If they were illegal unfortunately you should be considered illegal as well.
You can still return to your home country and get in line like the thousands of others doing it that way.
Is there any reason that you think you and the illegal immigrants are more important than all those doing things the right way.
NIce bleeding heart story, but I've heard a million of those.
If you are so concerned about America you should be concerned about the 12-15 million illegals in "your" country. |

Yes you and your parents are here illegally
I can't believe the law hasn't caught up with them!
Sorry I don't know you but you have just described what is wrong with the "system".
Your parents came on a tourist visa and over stayed their vist by decades.
What bugs me most is the fact that Europeans are able to get away with this but Haitians are IMMEDIATELY sent to jail without due process or even legal representation.
We have been told they need to be kept out because they are fleeing economic depravity as opposed to Cubans who are fleeing communism.... but but you have just stated your family is (was) escaping poverty as well.
Likewise what are Mexicans fleeing?
Again your status is a model of what is wrong and unfair |

technically you committed a crime and some say that technically you're a criminal but in that case we're all liars
no, I don't consider you a criminal
it's not like you had a choice, your parents only did what was best for you
welcome to America :) |

Yes!!~ you support illegal aliens and aide them in their crimes- your so inter-twined in criminal activity you cant even see straight anymore! |

Unfortunately you will not get any kind of remorse or sympathy from any of these people. They do not see the repercussions of returning home, and trying to do things legally. My family came from Mexico many years ago, and they have nothing to return to. No one understands how it feels to be on this side of the debate. I do not think you are a criminal there are far worse things that I see going on, that nothing is being done about. My niece can get molested and her attacker can walk free. I know how it feels to think that people see you as a criminal, and someone they despise. |

The fact is, your whole family is here illegally. Since you were a minor, it is your parents who broke the law, not you. You might want to contact a legal aid group and see if they'll help you. Good luck with that since you're not an illegal from Mexico. |

Actually, yes you are metro, you are here illegally. But then I would deport you simply because your anti-American |

That's what I mean, you and your parents don't have to go anywhere. You did nothing wrong and people can't bash you and be racist about it.
I personally think you shouldn't have asked this question because these anti-illegals still and will never understand the real issue of immigration, and will only go into ignorance to try to answer this. |
