I’m brown and Mexican. I will never be privileged.

I live in a dinky single apartment with my brother. So, yes, I’m poor.

Yeah, I’m in grad school right now and I had to take out a loan. It’s still worth it.

No flying under the radar with old Cheeto.

Yes to all of this.

Yep.

My parent’s were poor and they still managed to pay the thousands (not a measly $500) required for their resident alien and citizenship applications.

I’m a lower-middle class, brown Mexican-American and a child of immigrants who worked their asses off to pay the fines for their resident alien/citizenship applications.. Trust me, I know it’s tough out here. I really LOL’ed @ the blessed part of your comment.

Apparently, so did she. She was living with her parent and brother.

Nope.

Nope. My family voted for Clinton.

I’m a brown Mexican-American. I am definitely not even a little bit White.

I felt bad for saying it but even my lower-middle class parents managed to pay all of their resident alien and citizenship fines. And they were more than a measly $500.

I’m lower middle class. So, yes, I’m not actually “rich” or “privileged.” I wouldn’t be privileged, anyway, seeing as I’m a racial minority (Mexican-American).

Nope. I just live in a better state: California. I received a lot of need-based and merit-based financial aid.

No thank you.

Sure, I have. I was lucky enough to get Pell Grants and other aid in California. I’m not from a privileged family at all.

She’s 22. How the hell does she have clothes, glasses, a house, a gun (her family had one in the house when they caught them), a car? They had a source of income. You’re telling me that they didn’t have the forethought to save up money for something as important as her DACA application? That just means there’s a lot…

She paid but she didn’t pay it on time. They’ve got her on a technicality.

If she had paid the DACA application fine, she would have at least had some legitimacy in her pleas to stay in this country. She has zilch because she didn’t think ahead. She had two years to save up $500. Even a high schooler could have saved up $5oo in one year. Why didn’t she?
