IsraelLozano 0 Posted October 6, 2014 I know I'm not the only one here and I know some of you will say "limosnero y con garrote" pero hear me out. Ever since I've gotten my EAC and my Social is been hard to find a good-pay reliable job. And I didn't think it was a big deal till my friend from Honduras who's under the TPS program showed me his license and social. His social is a regular 6XXXXX number and his license is valid for 5 years or more. I don't feel like I had to explain my legal status everytime I go for an interview and the interviewer is looking at my documentation looking it all weird and question it if it's legal or not. Let's face it folks, there's always racism everywhere and when they start asking me "Why is your license a 'Limited term' one"? Or why does your social has "Valid for work only with DHS Authorization" written all over it? These employers will give you a weird look and probably saying inside their heads "These folks came to steal americans jobs" and I know you guys feel the same way too. Is been hard for me to get a loan for a house because my legal status is reviewed every 2 years and they say that is too risky for them to give me a loan. I feel that us that have renewed our stay here should really rally up the group and ask the person in charge of DACA to cut us some slack and let us have our licenses for more than 2 years and give us a regular SS card. Am I the only that feels this way? I don't think so. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
touchdown 0 Posted October 8, 2014 Yes, you should definitely rally up and ask the person in charge of DACA...let me rephrase that...demand of the person in charge of DACA to do their job right. He got elected based on using immigrants as a bargaining chip. How involved are you in the H-town undocumented organizing community? Is there much happening?

Gezinha 121 Posted October 12, 2014 I don't think I've heard much about discrimination in those terms here, living in MA, people are very afraid of being sued or taken to court over these matters here. I think that it being that you live in Texas, the people there are very openly racist against immigrants, at least, that is what I've heard about the American people there. But you have the right to tell them to mind their own business and conduct themselves professionally because it is not professional to pass judgement on people based on a piece of paper. And if they are treating you like that, then you better not work there anyways. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
