  My Name is Nancy and I am Undocumented

  Wow Roger. Really? I apologize for the crime I committed when i was 5 months old. How can I come here and say I was a "begger and a failure" in a country I do not even know?! Your argument makes no sense. I am not saying "the system" owes me anything either, all I am asking is for justice, which is supposed to be what this country stands for. You cannot condemn someone for a decision someone else made for them. We are not crazy people, rather the hardest working people in this country. I speak for myself, I have overcome so many obstacles and have always been a hardworker. If you want to talk about crazy, crazy is someone who is trying to criminalize someone who was brought here not by choice but by chance. I did not choose to come here. If I knew my country and if I had grown up there, believe me I would much rather be there, but it's not that simple. My whole life was been here in the United States. Be careful with what you post here because all you are doing is coming off as ignorant.

  Thank you Edward for your support and for your positive comparisons. I hope one day it will happen, actually I know it will!

  Gordon, you are basically suggesting to play it by luck. Well Nancy, don't you look and sound American enough? That is basically the question you are asking. They won't be suspicion if you have lived here! Well guess what? It doesn't work like that. Immigration judges are touch on immigrants whether they have a case like me or not. 
  Sad but true.

  Thank you so much for your support Janeth! My whole life I have done nothing else than live by the book and values that as an AMERICAN were inculcated in me. I have worked hard, paid taxes, gone to school and become an Honors student. I am getting ready to apply to Grad school actually and am very excited for that next big step. Mr. Johnson, I think you are in the wrong place. Again, my post and this forum are about the DREAM ACT, something that still has not even passed, and which will be completely different when it passes than it is now - rest assured that the logistics will indeed include tighter borders and security, in fact, most of DREAM ACT beneficiaries support that. The DREAM ACT is by no means an amnesty, but rather an adjustment to legalize people who just deserve to be legalized, who are AMERICAN in every sense, except that they lack that 9 digit number. From all your posts I can see you really believe the DREAM ACT would benefit some sort of criminal group, maybe because you haven't read the conditions of eligibility where it clearly states that future beneficiaries would have to have a clean record. The DREAM ACT will not induce a higher flow of immigrants because not only will we have tighter borders but the DREAM ACT will be only for students who have already lived here and gone to school here, not newcomers. Ignorance is not mispelling something here on a post, ignorance lies on people who are quick to point the finger without giving them a chance and learning about them. I will cut it here because I have other people to write to, it is impossible to respond to your million posts that you write throughout the day perhaps because you have no other thing to do than to bash people who pose a "threat" on you.
  Have a great night.

  Clearly you do not know what the process really is. You saying "there should be no problem" is so wrong and vague. What are you basing your thoughts on?

  Gordon, exactly! There is no reason why I should not be considered along with other applicants but like I said, unfortunately that's just they way it is for people like me : it's unfair and absurd. I shouldn't have to leave the country that is my home to begin with, not to mention have to lie about me growing up here. Is that what you are suggesting? Maybe I'm misunderstanding but it seems to me you are advising me to lie about my stay here in the U.S. If that is the case, then you're contradicting yourself.

  My Name Is Jae and I am Undocumented

  Jae,
  Keep your head high up because all this negativity is pure ignorance. These people don't understand that it's not about money, it's not that we are not willing to pay for our legalization, the option is just not there. You and I both know what it's like to live in the shadows and it's not a good place to be. I'm glad to see that more of us are coming out to share our stories! We WILL win this battle, whether they like it or not.

  WOW! That is all I can say reading this feedback - both positive and negative. To Randy Minnick: thank you for taking the time to read and for your response. It saddens me to see that a lot of people including you still find it difficult to understand that being in my situation is some sort of slavery. You might find it ridiculous and "beyond ludicrous" but I strongly believe it's only because you haven't experienced anything like this. How many times have you been told that the awards you worked so hard for cannot be claimed because you lack a 9 digit number. How many times did you sit in your bed crying all night because you were sick and in pain, but knew you shouldn't tell your mom because she didn't have money to pay for the doctor? As Luis P. said, I think you need to inform yourself a little more before you make comments where you try to criminalize me. Gordon Johnson, I really do believe your issue is NOT with immigrants in general but rather you are an anti-hispanic who is blind to the fact that illegal does not equal hispanics. Again, I think you need to inform yourself before you comment. If you read the previous dreamie stories you might get a better understanding and you'll see that. Everyone needs to understand that dreamers like me are by no means victimizing ourselves, we are only fighting for what is just. Thank you Luis P. for clarifying that a five month old is not capable of making their own decisions. Also, to Randy, you are being burdened with any responsibility as you say. How will the passage of something like the DREAM ACT affect you? Read my post again, I pay taxes, and contribute to our society as much as you do. It's sad to see the lack of information so evident in a lot of these posts. The positive posts keep me going and reinforcing what I believe and KNOW is right and just. Nothing fulfills me more than to know I have inspired even a single person.
  Lisa, thank you so much for your encouraging comments and support. Thank you to Pete, Amy, etc. Whether the feedback is good or bad, I have never given up on anything and I will not start now. I am AMERICAN.
