After reading that i feel that that explains much of what our parents, atleast here in the us, felt. My father tried so desperately to live the american dream. He bought several houses and vehicles and always had to sell them or they were reposessed. He's in his mid 40's and will be moving back in with my grandparents, as he doesn't have any money whatsoever, once my brother and i find an apartment in the city so he, my brother, can go to school. I strive to never end up in that situation so long as I can help it.

I did/do my best. Wallowing in self hatred and pity is not how i want to spend my 1 life that I have on this earth. You got 1 shot do the best you can while you can. Exceed expectations and better yourselves anyway you can.

I heard this advice not too long ago and it helped me through some shit, granted i was never suicidal just straight up hated myself and my life/situation. I honestly think discipline helped me through so much of my childhood and now adulthood. My father and former stepfather were/are alcholics. My mother and step father chain smoked cigarettes. All of my friends, the rejects and dregs of society, did drugs and alcohol all through school but i made it a point to never do any of those things. I was literally surrounded by it everyday but i forced myself, trust me it wasn't always easy, to be better than that. I'm thankful to myself for getting through those times. Now I'm not saying that discipline is the only answer and it may not be your answer but that's for you to discover as it's your life to lead.

Im pretty sure that's illegal. If you are a paid intern federal law dictates that anything worked over 40 hours requires the employer pay 1 1/2 times your base pay.

Not to solely bash the republican party so i'll speak out against the democratic party as well. The democrats are a strictly popular party. Their platform swings too and fro with the social climate but only to the point that they superficially represent the common man. They don't actually want change they just want you to think they're on your side when in reality they're stuffing their wallets in the same way repunlicans are.

Republicans are pro big business, that's literally the main platform for the republican party and it's predecessors. They don't support the common man other than to make big business money.

Now I'm not saying that if they get caught they won't be in trouble. What i am saying is that it's harder to track down an illegal immigrant (who has no social security number, nor credit/debit cards, or ebt) than it is to track down an individual who lived in this country and has a social security card and banking information that will track his location any time he uses it.

I think the common argument isn't that they take more it's that they give little. An illegal immigrant who works and pays rent under the table and never files taxes nor has taxes taken out from their pay checks isn't paying into the system to cover roads or other civil services such as fire and/or police protection. If a legal resident did so they would be jailed and/or fined for tax evasion.

Although i agree with the first part the assimilation part takes time to happen. Typically 1 generation. The parents may never fully assimilate and that's not to say that they dont want too, but rather, because culturally and linguistically they're too far set in there ways but the children growing up here will be much more accustomed to the culture and our main language. It's very hard to take ingrained culture over generations out of someone over 25 as they've become so accustomed to their former way of life.
