It took a lot of us time to become legal. For example, my homie who was illegal came here in 98. All through high school he tried to become legal. Went to the military and the military promised to make him legal. Took him 10 years but finally got legal. We all start somewhere so I can't knock someone who did the same thing my family went through. We all come to the states for the idea and a shot at the American dream. Especially when it becomes unsafe in our home country whether by said countries politics or American involvement.
