So i officially got my ead today, im so hyped, waiting for mondey to come to go to the ss office then off to my permit!

Another thing that annoys me. I'm Punjabi and people can tell right away that I'm either Punjabi or they confuse me for being a latino. I hate it when they say so in Your country? Just because the fact I'm not white doesn't make me an American? I never went to my parent's country. This is the only country I know. This is my country. If could, I would have joined the marines. It really annoys me. I know nothing about my parent's country but I respect it as well. I just wish that people would start considering non-Caucasians Americans as well.

!!!!!!!

Hello to everyone. Like to start off by saying this is a great site. A little info about me. My name is Luis, I have been here since 1 month old. My mom was pregnant with me here in CA where we used to live and left to Mexico to be along my grandparents (months preg). Then came right back with a 1 month old. I'm 27 now, married to A US citizen and have 2 great boys. Unfortunately we have not been able to apply through my wife since I don't want to leave the country. My lawyer sent my app for DACA Apr 4th and I went in for bios Apr 17th (walk in). The wait starts. My dad was here for the amnesty of 86 but due to issues with his file getting lost he want able to become a US citizen until just recently, it was too late for him to claim me since I was already over 18. I'm already lucky enough to have a great job as I work for my inlaws as a subcontractor. But getting DACA will finally allow me to drive without fear and be able to take my family on a well deserved vacation.

I was watching Lucy when my T.v was interrupted to broadcast the terror of what had happened.. Honestly, I instantly felt terrible for all the people who had been there and all who were still trying to get away!Unfortunately the news are really graphic, and my 4 year old was watching t.v with me, I can't stand her watching things like that! and my heart goes out to the mothers of all those who were injured. Good, innocent people died and were hurt for reasons nobody will ever know why. Whether this will affect the immigration reform: I really hope it doesn't, just like we don't categorized every single white person as a redneck they should not see every single immigrant as a terrorist!! What I do love is that no matter what happens you always see people who are willing to help, That's one thing this country is great for! We might fall as one but as thousands who stand together and rise to greater heights!!

I clicked on the quote and then word quote appears and you click on it..and thats how i got the bubble

Some do, some don't... It all depends on their level of cultural sensitivity, and the way they cope with diversity...Another huge factor is their level of education... I have come to realize that as people are exposed to higher education, great metropolitan areas, or both, they tend to just treat everyone similarly (either good or bad, regardless of background)... One anecdote: I lived in NY for around 6 months, and one thing that caught my attention was that one day I was passing by Grand Central going to Murray Hill, and I noticed that one of the guys that sell Halal Food was doing his prayers (he was Muslim and he got on his knees in the middle of pedestrian traffic to pray - huge display of devotion)...I found this beautiful, but many tourists were staring, pointing, taking pictures, etc...regular New Yorkers were just swinging by in a hurry (like always )...Obviously they notice it, but they are accustomed to it... The following picture, I took while going downtown on the FDR...It basically summarizes NYC's attitude towards people, and drives my point across...

When I saw what was happening the first thing that came to mind was that it was definitely an act of terrorism. I was scared it would be something like 911, then I started thinking about the reform; it would totally ruin our chance! Just seeing these people running around with terror saddened me, 3 dead, but so many more badly injured. I have no idea why they did it, though I think the younger brother was brainwashed by the older one. They obviously wanted to do great harm to this country but aside from this, some type of religion had to be involved. Though I'm glad one was captured alive, at the same time I feel bad for him for being so young and being brainwashed. Either way, this will not take away the damage they did to those people. It's sad how all these events have been accumulating. Boston Bombing, Explosion in West Texas, avalanche in colorado, and earthquake on the other side of the world.

I've tried to refrain from participating in conversations about what is going here right now because after what we've been through as a city, it's offensive and angering that people can't think outside of themselves and decide to be the expert on how law enforcement should have handled this. I was a few blocks away with my family, including my 1 year old niece and 4 year old nephew, on our way to the finish line to watch the runners finish strong. We heard the booms and my boyfriend who works at Fenway Park immediately called us to tell us to stop walking that way. We are exhausted. From the nightmare of seeing our streets covered in blood and a picture of this animal smirking as he's walking away from a bomb he just placed behind an 8 year old child and at the legs of innocent people watching such a beautiful, positive event to the almost impossible to believe night and day we had on Friday... I have only the mental and emotional energy to say, if you didn't experience this firsthand, hold your judgements to yourself and send positive energy out. With a K-9 unit officer in my family and numerous BPD friends, I hope that everyone can admire and be grateful for the top notch, unrelenting service they provided. Yes, our city was on lockdown while you all watched on your TVs because there were two terrorists shooting at our cops (killing a 26 year old cop execution style) and throwing GRENADES AND BOMBS all over our streets after getting caught trying to plant bombs at MIT. If you had 2 psychopaths with an arsenal of guns and explosives running through your city, I hope you wouldn't think it was ridiculous to put it on lockdown so no more people get hurt. I'm sure if that little boy was your child, you wouldn't think it was an overreaction. These guys were not alone. 3 other men were arrested in Kenmore Square with a bomb in the trunk much larger than the pressure cooker bomb used at the marathon. To this second, we still have hundreds of cops sniffing out areas and keeping presence in the city looking for any other people that might have been involved. It was a great relief to have caught suspect 2 but we really still don't know if there were more. To have my city that I love so much be attacked in such a brutal way and have things most people only see in movies happen in our streets, it's heartbreaking. To know that if we hadn't been running late on Monday, my family might have had the first bomb blow up on them, is chilling. We're BOSTON STRONG and we are living our lives without having been terrorized but the hurt and pain of these 4 senseless lives being lost and so many others who had arms and legs blown off... we will never forget. And I urge you to show respect in your comments as many victims and families of victims can see them.

For my ID I took my Work Permit, school ID, the childhood arrival approval letter, and my selective service registration letter. Paid $16 & got my ID. No SSN needed for the ID, only the DL.

I just realize that I didn't answer to the questions that the ADMIN provided. I didn't feel anything when it happened nor did I think anything of it, i felt bad for the victims, but honestly I felt a whole lot worse when those 20 kids at Newtown were massacred. What happened in Texas this week with the fertilizer plant explosion is a whole lot worse than what happened in Boston but for some reason this country is obsessed with terrorism and they forgot about Texas. I really don't want to speculate on what the motive was, I just want to wait for the facts to come out. ...but let me just comment about what took place on Friday. It's ridiculous that they would shut the whole city down for 24 hours and bring in almost every cop, FBI and National guards in the northeast looking for a 19 year old kid who is hungry, thirsty, Injured and loosing blood... that was just over the top and really pathetic, but I'm glad they got him alive. Just my opinion!

I'm somewhat controversial when it comes to the topic of terrorism and violence, and I love it. The biggest terrorist in the world is the United States of America, no question about it! What happened in Boston is tragic and there's no excuse for it, but let's get real for a moment. What do you say to the one MILLION Iraqis who lost their lives for nothing or the 1.5 MILLION Vietnamese who died in the Vietnam war? And not to mention the infamous Atomic bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki that wiped out 250.000 or more people in an instant and many more suffered lingering effects of the bomb. The United States have been terrorizing the world for past century, and the number of innocent people this country have killed is mind blowing. The Boston tragedy is horrible, no innocent life deserve to be taken recklessly regardless of where they live or which god they pray to. Every life is equal in value and no life is more important than the other. No act of violence is excusable and that sure as hell goes for the United States as well. Terrorism breeds terrorism and violence breeds violence and for as long as this country continues to wage reckless and worthless wars on other nations, people will rebel and the result will not be pretty. We don't know yet the motives behind the Boston attack but whatever the motive is we should stop the hate and the stereotypes...and for god sake stop the drone war!

The bill will pass - it will just be a heated debated given what just happened in Boston... Stay positive! Don't worry, be happy

Dude! C'mon - I understand your frustration, but this is uncalled for. Several reasons: Although latinos are the most popular immigrants in the US, we are not the only ones...people from all over the world are waiting for comprehensive immigration reform, just like us - Asia, Middle East, Africa, Europe Arabs? They are Muslim of Chechen origin, but they are Radical, Extremist, Muslims. I know many muslims who are just super awesome and great friends - Arabs and Africans Hopefully this won't have an adverse effect on the debate (although I think it will), and hopefully I was able to clarify some of your confusions. Saying that are all Arabs are Terrorists is akin to saying that all Mexicans are lazy, all Colombians are drug dealers, etc etc. Just saying - let's avoid generalizations

Some people have to use lawyers if they have problems with their records. I've helped many people whos application wasn't going to be straight forward. It honestly was a little confusing to me so I had a lawyer do everything for me. I didn't wanna risk the chance of an rfe or otherwise. But yes, anyone can always post in the forums with questions and problems. There's an answer for everything!

Why are you guys wasting so much money on lawyers? Anyone who qualifies for DACA shouldn't have problem filling out the application form at all, the form is really straight forward and not to mention that it even comes with instructions if you need it. LoL Anyone who hasn't yet filed out his/her application and needs help should really reach out to us or more importantly to the moderator JoseG, i'm sure he'll be glad to help anyone free of charge. ...but no one really have to pay hundreds of dollars for a lawyer and not to mention that even with the lawyers help it won't make your case be processed any faster than those who didn't hire a lawyer. If you don't understand anything seek free help from a friend, a parent or a teacher or drop by this forum, there's a lot of helpful people here.

i tend not to make any. just because i know that if i truly want to change something and have the power to do so then i dont need a date or certain time to start it.

Omg.... Im very desperate .. I want my permit !!
