Your stance on illegal aliens

First, let me give you some background on my situation. My parents came to this country, illegally, and brought me along. I was only like 2-3 years old at the time, so I had no say in the matter. Needless to say, my life has been so fucked up ever since I turned 16. For all of the people around me, turning 16 meant getting a drivers license and a job. Me? I couldn't do either. Two years later, graduation. For everyone else, it's off to a university. Me? Crappy community college because I wasn't accepted into any universities as a result of my status.

I feel like my life is on hold because of all the limitations that are imposed upon me. I know that some of you are probably asking, "Why don't you go back to your country?", but I feel like this IS my country. I've lived here practically my whole life and know no other way of life. To tell you the truth, I think I'd be so lost and depressed if I were to be taken away from the way of life that I've grown accustomed to.

I'll be the first to admit that my parents were wrong for coming here illegally. They broke the law. It wasn't fair for them to skip ahead of all of those people that were trying to get here legally. But at the same time, the system that is in place right now is so fucked up that if I were in the same situation, I'd probably do the same thing. The long waiting period, the ridiculous amount of money needed, all the paper work who even the people who wrote it probably don't understand. It's all fucked up.

So, what's your opinion on this whole thing? Are you against the presence of illegal aliens, for it, or just don't give a fuck?

That's nice and everything, but you should probably work on your reading comprehension skills. Not once did I mention my nationality. It seems like to most people here illegal alien = Mexican. In case you did not know, an illegal alien is ANYONE who comes to this country illegally, regardless of nationality.

Also, just because someone is an illegal alien does not mean they are criminals and/or freeloaders. Not once have I broken the law or been affiliated with any gangs and the only "freeloading" I'm guilty of is attending public schools. Even then, my parents pay taxes, so I don't know if that can even be considered freeloading (yes, illegals can still pay taxes). You seem to generalize way too much. You're thought process is just borderline retarded. GTFO and come back when you have a more rational solution.
