I came to the United States Back in 1988. At the time I was 6 years old. When crossing the border the Border Patrol apparently ruffed up some of the people when they were transporting us to the detention centers. My mom was able to get in contact with my Aunt who was already legally living in the U.S. and called Some start up lawyer for my mom. The lawyer told my mom that she had a good case and that she should sue the I.N.S. border patrol for their actions against us. My mom of course not knowing how in the world things ran in the U.S. decided to go ahead with it. So she sued and we lost (what can we expect she is an immigrant going against the U.S. government). They told her to leave the country. After all that walking she was not about to make an about face and head back to crime and poverty. So ever since then she has not been able to fix her papers. The problem is that they are holding me accountable for it too. I was only 6 years old and I was not going to leave the country without my mom. They are punishing me as if I deliberately broke the law. I have 2 older brothers (who at the time were both under the age of 10), one was with me and the other was transported by a would be "American family" and "their" child (his name is Gustavo). My brother who came in by car does not have our problem. My brother that was with me (His name is Fernando) has the same problem, he got married to a U.S. Citizen but has been denied even a workers permit! Obviously we are been punished by the law for not going back to our country, and not because we are under my moms custody. If that were the case my brother Gustavo who came in by car would have our problem too but he does not. What can I possibly do in my situation. I am here in Loyola Marymount University (with my Girlfriend who attends this University) almost to the brink of tears out of frustration because I want to live a normal life, to fufill the American dream in my life. I am sick of this. I dont want to go back to my god forsaken third world country for 10 YEARS were I definitely have no hope of becoming prosperous, just so I can wait for the letter to arrive were they tell me my process can begin. I would be much better off here without papers than over there with a Ph.D! I think the ***s here are better off than the middle class back in my country (which are all really poor). Sorry for sounding so pathetic but I seriously need help. All I want to do with my life is help people but I cannot even do that because I dont have papers! I can't even help my self, isn't that funny! Anyway if anyone out there can refer me to anyone I can brib.... err... I mean talk to in order help me please let me know! Thank you.
