What to do when you are illegal?

Question

Really, how do you live life in America? You cannot get a job unless its a "cash only" one where you are treated with disrespect, discrimination and paid literally nothing. Cannot drive legally, or even buy a new automobile. Have to be constantly watching out for law officers and Inmigration officers.... life must be so tough.... please give some of your opinion on the issue, thank you.

Answer 1

When you are an illegal alien you life a life based on a lie. The first step you took on American soil was a step in the wrong direction. You violate American sovereignty and try to hide behind the very laws and people whom you violate. You commit felony offenses by either stealing someones identity or you work for cash and do not pay taxes. You travel on highways unlicensed and create a situation whereby innocent children sacrifice a better education by overcrowding classrooms.

Answer 2

what to do?pray everyday the migra does not you!

Answer 3

Answer 4

NO HUMAN BEING IS ILLEGAL.

If you work hard enough and know the right people. You can still go very far without being a citizen. You may have to break harmless laws though.

Answer 5

well man it is tough. someone will probably say something racist or aggressive towards me,but i was brought here when i was 4 years old.i had no choice.i am undocumented. im in high school and i swear every single day someone sy something bad about me being illegal even though they dont even know if i am or not.just because of my color and heritage.one thing though,illegals can get jobs that arent cash only.and they pay taxes as well. that is a big misconception that we dont pay taxes.some dont but some do.so people should stop generalizing.i understand where americans are coming from when they speak their minds against us. i understand and i agree with them.i promise man that as soon as i graduate high school im going straight to college in my own country and maybe i will come back someday.LEGALLY.and about the driving.yeah it sucks.like i said,im in high school.it sucks that everyone my age is so happy that they finnally got their permit or licensse and i cant have that.or it sucks that others can go on foreign language trips to france or spain or china and i can t.because of my legal status.

Answer 6

If you are single get married to an American and he or she will legalize you. If you are married consider returning to your home country.

Answer 7

Go home and apply for a visa.

Answer 8

Maybe you should pack up and go back to your own country.  We don't need illegals here.  We have enough problems of our own.  If you came here illegally, what did you want, to have everything given to you as a gift?  Sorry, but most of us don't like illegals and don't want illegals here.  Do it legally and you'll have our respect.

Answer 9

My answer is you don't live life in America as an ILLEGAL--that's why it is called illegal!!!  Please don't put a burden on the American society and expect us to support you because you don't like it where you came from.  Try to live in your own country and strive to make contributions and changes there to make it a better society and place to live.  The US is way overburdened from the "melting pot" notion from years ago.  Don't get me wrong--I am NOT a callous or unsympathetic person; but I ask this question to you---How are hard working middle class citizens and their families like me supposed to live in this country with illegal persons like you taking up our contributions to society?

Answer 10

What to do is realize you are in a dead end by all likelyhood.

Life looking over your shoulder makes no sense.

What you are doing is actually robbing the sanctity of law and order from the community you are illegal in.

You may also be robbing people of jobs, denigrating wages, taking social services designed for folks that pay more taxes and ultimately wreaking havoc with the propriety of another country's  well  being.

It's wrong. I can't be made right unless you go home and come back legally if you are willing to make the committment. pay the fees and do it the right way.

Answer 11

Well me personally, I'm not a criminal, nor am I lazy, so I would not illegal immigrate to another nation. I have respect so I could care less what they do when they are illegal. Not my problem.

btw, an illegal claiming discrimination LOL, I forgot about that one, better add arrogant and liar to that list of things illegals like to do.

Answer 12

I have a couple of friends that are illegal..It sucks because they cant get a drivers license. Some still drive because thats the only way to get around where I live. Most of them work at low paying jobs and most of they the time they have more than 1 job. They dont really complaint about anything though. Their just happy that they can feed their family and experience life here in America. I asked the same question about why cant they come here legally and they said its a huge process and if your not educated or have a top of the line career then you have a very low chance to get a visa. I dont blame them for coming. America RULES!

Answer 13

it is tough. I am an american but it's a rough place out there. you have to be more assertive of yourself and don't think of the bad in the future but try to focus on something else. i am only 15 but i hoped this helped!

Answer 14

I've got too many legal Canadian and Australian friends for the illegals to not p**s me off.  They all sweat it when there paper work is not in order it's as if it's a mentality from a lawless state and that carries over or maybe it's just the fact that they don't respect Americans because we don't respect ourselves enough to protect our livelihood and country.  Probably a combination of both.
