my life story cut short
Well its my first time writing a blog, and i want to hear opinions and what others have to say about my "issue".... well im a 22 year old living georgia, quite blessed i might add. the thing is i am currently an illegal immigrant, ive been here since i was 3 years old, and sadly my parents never seemed to try and do anything about their immigration status here, so i never really felt the urge to look into it, untill i hit high school, and i noticed that this was going to present an obstacle if i wanted to continue on to furhter education. but any who, i graduated with honors, and got a scholarship but it was only valid for legal georgia residents. and i couldnt afford to pay for school my self... so this is the thing, im not here to argue about the laws being unfair because i guess they were here before me. i understand that the law says "if you dont have the proper documents, that makes you illegal and you dont have the right to be here" but lets be rational about this, i didnt choose to be here, my parents brought me, and im not saying that i dont like here either, i mean lets be real, ive been here 19 years of my life. my english is better than my spanish. i know U.S. history instead of Mexicos history. i enjoy a good burger just as next person. my life is here. and im loving every minute of it. and im not putting down my roots, i love my culture, the tacos, the music, everything. now heres my concern, with these laws popping up. what can i do if just saying that one day i get caught up in a situation where im about to get deported. What am i to do when i have no one in mexico to go back to. no relatives no nothing. will this matter at the time of my "hearing" ? what do you think...
