Leaving to Mexico??
Long rant warning
I’ve recently went to Mexico on AP I stayed in Polanco for 10 days, but went to Mexico State multiple times to visit family but most importantly to visit my gradmother who is 85 years old. I’d like to start by saying I had no issues coming in, it took me longer to get off the plane than to get my stamp everyone at the airport was so nice, the lady at customs asked me why am I traveling on AP my English is so good I should be a resident lol😒😂.
Anyhow Mexico was beautiful I did the family stuff everyday early in the am then did mostly tourist things during the day. Went to the castle as well as multiple museums. I also went to a different restaurant every day for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Everyone was absolutely amazing the people in dinners and restaurants are super nice and not like in NY lol.
BUT I have to say after seeing the living standard and understanding how much people work, believe me even without DACA you are better off in America. And to those who say otherwise…. You were giving the opportunity that millions don’t get and if you did not take it and run with it… it’s your fault…. I’ve seen people in my family who took it for granted and I’ve seen people bringing in a million dollars a year because of their DACA, funny enough they are both from the same household and same school same everything. Believe me no matter how hard you have it here you have running water… a bed to sleep in and good you are much better off than millions of people in other countries.
My cousin went to one of the best schools, works for one of the biggest companies as an executive and nearly makes what a low wage carwash guy makes here…. And yes you will say but life is better…. Well no because to live in say Roma or polanco or a good neighbor you are looking to buy in US dollar and rent is extremely high. I had a driver the whole time I was there and he used to live in the US but decided to go back because his mom was sick, thankfully she had a full recovery but he said if he knew his mother would have a full recovery he would’ve never left…. He started a business and a successful at that in the city… he was making money but after paying so much to the mafias he just wasn’t making ends meet for all the stress so he decided to just work for a company.
I thought about what if I did t have DACA, well even working off the books and starting my own business- yes it would be hard but believe me no where as hard as it is there. People work 12 hours a day and take no time off and the living conditions are still hard.
What I’m trying to say is don’t give up a solution will come sooner or later, but keep in mind…. You as a DACA recipient was giving an opportunity-if you f$&ked up and did t take advantage of it, it’s not trumps fault it’s not congress, it’s your own fault…. And going back to the country of origin, well if you don’t have anything here more than likely you won’t have anything there, and this goes to most countries… you were brought here for a reason… you didn’t leave England to come for work here.
The best advice to anyone is, study go to school learn a something that brings your value up, and don’t compare yourself to anyone… you are on your own path..
