Remember, your parents did this to you. My family came through Ellis Island. Feeling good about that. Sorry your family didn't have the integrity to do it correctly.

My friend married a man that was here illegally when they got married she helped him go through the process. His parents brought him and his brother here illegally when they were kids. He is now a citizen but, because his parents brought him here illegally it took them years and over 10,000.00 for him to become a citizen. His brother and parents are still not legal and they've been here over 20 years.

this is sad and unfortunate but that's not to say that you can't get citizenship. Trump has stated that if you voluntarily turn yourself in to be deported then once back in Mexico or wherever you can immediately apply for a visa for re-entry and be here the proper way. once here you apply for citizenship. in 2010 I helped one of my Mexican friends do this exact process and he was scared and I know it's scary. but if you're not a criminal please don't become one by getting forcibly removed from the country. you are welcome here. but you have to do it through the correct process. also also if you talk to a social worker or someone inside of the federal government to get the information before the actual deportation but after turning yourself in you can reduce the time that you would need to be away for dramatically.

All that time raising their kids, could have applied for citizenship. Stupid crazy parents. And I bet her mom doesn't even speak English either.

Now that’s not right that’s the mom’s fault and the school department for not explaining thing’s to her. But being here and not knowing the school should have tried to help her get legal status. Schools know that children are here illegally.

Deport Them don't care That's the parent's responsibility to explain to them that the parent broke the law. When they got here so now, these kids that have grown up are the ones that have to, they deal with what their parents did.But don't care, they're still illegal.Get 'em out of here

I know of someone with this exact same story. It's fucked up to keep that hidden for so long and even worse to wait till they actually get a job to tell them. Anyhow once she found out, she went trough all the proper steps in order to become legal. it took years but she was legal by the age of 25. it's hard work, but here in America we work hard for what we want! I live by the saying " Dress for the job title you want, not your position "

No sympathy here! Mom was in the wrong, and probably because she’s undocumented herself! Also, after finding out, what was their next steps? Bet it wasn’t taking the proper steps to actually become a citizen.

And at what point did she do something about it? Or did she do absolutely nothing which is what I suspect sucking off the system not becoming an American citizen. She’s the worst kind. Get the fuck out.

Let me say this, Mom, you should've had that talk with your children. It's just like you leading them into the dark and taking your hand away.Be mindful of What you are doing since you bring your children into this. It's a mean world out here. Take it from a black woman. I'm 59 years old. And things have gotten worse, not just for us being adults, our children and babies. I wish you nothing but the best for anybody who trying to be illegal in the United States of America. God built this world not me

Love to flaunt the Mexican culture yet evade when cartels control everything. You love what your country used to be. Americans do to. Don’t worry the American military is on the way. We know that always makes things better. In reality, how many people are not being allowed to enter this country with legit asylum claims. They are taking advantage but what else are they to do their govt won’t do anything but say they will take over America. They are not fleeing persecution they are fleeing government tyranny which isn’t an actual asylum claimant.

I learned that in a government department, I show my license and Social Security number. They said I need a green card. Because my driver's license was not an ID and my Social Security fake. I got my driver's license more the 40 years of work in telecommunications and homeland security background also a USA passport. Birth certificates. I told them I was Chinese where you guys will deport me to NYC or Florida. The lady was an immigrant from South America. I'm Puerto Rican.😭😭😭😭Where can I get a green card?

samething happened to my friend 😂. And he lived in the US since he was 1 years old. And his mom got her citizenship when he was in high school after getting married to his stepdad . He thought he was born in the US. His mom never told him he was born in Mexico but lucky for him he was in school here since he was 4 years old. He got his citizenship quick and was able to get that job he applied for a couple months later.
