I want to make lots of money here but I'm illegal?

I want to make lots of money here but I'm illegal?
I am a 16 year old straight A student in high school. All my life I believed I was a citizen of the USA because my parents never told me that I was brought here illegally while I was 2 years old. I want to be a chemical engineer and make tons of money. I want to make more money than most white people do. But I'm reading that I won't be able to get a job here due to not having legal status. That is NOT fair to me, in my opinion. Other people who I thought were my peers are actually in a class that is ABOVE me, even though I get better grades than them and have many more ambitions than them. I have dreams like all the other kids. Why am I not allowed at least the CHANCE to be in the top 10% income earning bracket of the country. Why don't I deserve the chance to be rich like white people? Someone told me that the only way I have to get legal status here is for the dream act to pass, or to go back to my country of origin which is Mexico. I don't want to go to Mexico. AMERICA is MY country. I have always lived here. It is here that I want to make lots and lots of money.

You have to take the test for legal status, it takes a lot of studying but since you've lived here all your life it might not be as hard for you. Honestly it's your parents fault not the legal citizens of the US.
3 :
you know i find this hard to believe. your parents had to of told you not to go out and start trouble because the police would come and take all of you away. i don't buy that line any more. it's terrible for what your parents and other parents have done to their kids. but i really think you need to talk to your parents about being legal. you will have to go back to you birth country and apply their good luck. there will never be a dream act as long as people like me are around. should i demand my govt pay to send my kid to collage because her DREAM is to be a dr.
4 :
If you are so smart, and apparently greedy, you should be able to understand you are not a US citizen and until you correct that problem, this is only YOUR DREAM! You are also a typical mexican racist.
5 :
In the future, go see lawyer that specializes in immigration. Talk to him for 30 minutes (which may cost you 100 dollars) and explain your position. He'll definitely be able to help out. If all else fails, use your chemical engineering skills to build bombs for teh epic jihad and revenge against white elitists.

"Why don't I deserve the chance to be rich like white people?" ------------- You know, if you had indicated some level of interest in America besides the opportunity to make "lots and lots of money" and "be rich like white people", I might have had some sympathy for you. As it is, you come across as a racist illegal alien whiner. It is NOT FAIR that you have stolen opportunities that a legal immigrant is waiting in line for. It is NOT FAIR that U.S. taxpayers are subsidizing your K-12 education. If you want to be "legal" here, your best bet is, before the age of 18 1/2, to return to Mexico and apply to come here on a student visa. At age 18, the decision to remain here illegally is YOUR CHOICE, NOT YOUR PARENTS. It's a shame that your parents put you in this position, but make no mistake, THEY PUT YOU IN THIS POSITION. It is not up to us to get you out of it.
7 :
The DREAM Act is not going to pass. It's never going to pass. When it gets killed again this year, for the third time, it'll never be introduced in Congress again. You only have 2 1/2 more years until you are officially an illegal immigrant.
8 :
I FEEL U PAIN don't give up ,its alot of chances u may have on ur future , i ma on the same one i will always try my best to get there some americas don't understanding what we feel when we live here for too long this its are home I LOVE AMERICA!!!
9 :
people, here is a future rapist , drug seller, drunken driver.we should save this poor soul before its to late. as he stated hes another one of those high performers in school and of course all he wants to do is give back to his community. don't you just love this b.s. from illegals sob stories crowd
10 :
Here's a thought! Go back to Mexico and get an education there! They have schools there! They have chemicals there! They have your citizenship there! We have paid enough for the crimes of your parents!
11 :
Go back to your own country when you reach 18. You are then in charge of your own life. You can then apply to come back to the USA the legal way. Tell your parents how FAIR they were in doing this to you. Since it is their fault, let them pay for your plane trip hope and living accommodations until you can legally come back here. You would not only not be hired, but I would be most surprised if you would even be allowed to attend a school for your studies. Your only CHANCE is to go to your own country. It seems that all illegal aliens have excellent grades. Those do not mean squat. You are illegally present in the USA. The dream act will never, ever pass. You do need to go back to your own country, Mexico, not remain in mine, USA, illegally. You will be washing dishes the rest of your life here, being an illegal.
12 :
here we go again, how many times are you going to ask the same question, the answers will not change. You are getting more than you deserve now, your parents have made you a lawbreaker, dream act will not pass, American citizens do not want to reward you for the criminal actions of your parents! Why are you racist in using white people as an example. Why not do what is right and return to where you belong before you are 181/2 and file the right way, I know you did not have a good example for following laws, but this will be your only chance to become legal. It is not fair what your parents have done to our laws and our taxpayers either. Age of being made an illegal does not matter, just means your parents have used you as an accessory to their crime for 14 years. Must be hard with no example to follow.
13 :
If the immigration reform bill passes you dream will come true! I guess if any human being was in you place would want to get papers and live legally as we all do. If people are living illegally in USA and not paying taxes we complain that they do not pay any taxes, now the government want to make them legal and make them pay taxes we still have a problem. Arn't we hypocrites! The business lobby is very strong in USA most of the politicians are against this new immigration reform because President Obama has very strong/harsh fines for businesses who hire illegals after the bill is passed. This bill will really enforce the tough penalties against employers of illegal immigrants working. I support 100% Mr. Obama for this tough decisions Here are the links to President Obama's Videos http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NKQ8ap-d6zg&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yi17AYMESJ0
14 :
You need to see a reputable immigration lawyer ASAP. A lawyer may be able to fix this before you turn 18. But after you turn 18 there is no hope. I know it is expensive but that is what it takes.
15 :
PEDRO (geesh could your name not fit in any better lol) LISTEN, unfortunately for you, you ARE at a CONSCIOUS AGE where you are AWARE you are ILLEGAL, this knowledge will work against you in a court of law. Sorry babe, but you cant do much, what I suggest you do is finish High School, file for an ITIN NUMBER (this is a 9 digit number that is given to those that have no SSN, this can be used to file taxes) DO NOT get in any illegal trouble.....you're already breaking the law as it is. even though it is easy to blame your parents, you are a grown boy to know where you stand. I am not against you, or for you, you actually irritated me when you made the comment about "rich white people" thats a STUPID comment. EVERYONE can be wealthy if theyre NOT lazy, freeloader, or ignorant..........I have much more to say but I fell I'll never finish. P.S. STOP blaming your parents.........cuz I'm sure they didnt do this to HARM you, YOU can also make a difference in MEXICO, by becoming an C.E. there. Good Luck
16 :
Blame your parents, not the government. Get a lawyer and fix your issues. Terrorists get straights A's in Chemistry, too, now that I think about it. You will not stay for that reason alone. Your question absolutely reeks of foreign arrogance, if you think you are better than Americans, leave, and don't let the door hit you on the way out!

General Strategies on Saving Money and Earning More Money Save as much money as you can! You'll be surprised as to how quickly you can save a lot of money! Here are a few suggestions: Ways To Save Money & Ways To Earn More Money (Updated on 08/12/2010) Don't go out to eat. Example: don't eat out at fancy, high-class restaurants. Instead, eat at a fast food restaurant or cook a healthy meal at home. It is much cheaper than the alternative. If you are a teen or a young adult, you might want to hold a bake sale. You can have your other friends help you out, so that you can help attain your goal of saving and/or making more money. If you have a habit of buying new clothes very often, then resist the urge to buy new clothes for a little while. You could potentially save a good amount of money. Take personal finance courses online or at a high school or college/university. If you are a teen or a young adult, you may want to have a dog-walking service. To help you manage your money, try http://www.mint.com/ Talk to a customer service representative at a bank or other financial institution and learn more about financial instruments. Don't go out to watch new movies in theaters. Watch movies on your TV at home. Rent movies using Netflix. If you are a teen, you may want to think about babysitting. You can babysit your neighbor's children. Don't spend too much money when going out with friends. Have a budget in mind before you actually meet up with your friends. If you are a teen, you could try to mow the lawn. Many of your neighbors probably want their lawns to be mowed at a fraction of the price that they pay others to do the same work. Invest your money in a CD (certificate of deposit). You can hold your money in a CD for 6 months or even a year. It generally pays more interest than the interest you get from a traditional savings account from a bank. If you are a teen, do chores around the house. Your parents will appreciate it and you might get some money for it. If you like to invest your money in the stock market, then you may want to invest your money in a commodity, such as gold. The value/price of gold is expected to increase in the future. If you are a teen, then make sure to save the money that you get from your allowance (if you get an allowance). If you like to invest your money in the stock market, then you may want to invest your money in specific large-cap and medium-cap companies that you trust. Apple (Stock Symbol: AAPL) and Google (Stock Symbol: GOOG) are two such stocks where you can choose to invest your money. Try to sell something of value that you are willing to part with. Sell your old stuff on websites where many people make purchases, such as ebay or craigslist. You could also sell your stuff through a garage sale or a yard sale. Try to hold a donation drive where your family, close friends, neighbors, and other acquaintances will be able to help you out and donate a little bit of money. These people will include your parents, brothers, sisters, close friends, relatives, grandparents, neighbors, and other acquaintances. If all else fails, borrow money from other people (parents, brothers, sisters, close friends, relatives, grandparents, neighbors, acquaintances, etc.) in order to get a short-term loan. ======== Invest Your Money in the Stock Market Google Stock Symbol: GOOG Apple Stock Symbol: AAPL Berkshire Hathaway Inc Stock Symbol: BRK.A Stock Symbol: BRK.B Bank of America Corp Stock Symbol: BAC CVS Caremark Corp Stock Symbol: CVS 3M Co Stock Symbol: MMM Microsoft Corporation Stock Symbol: MSFT Yahoo!

Why is it Harley makes more money selling foreign fashion accessories than bikes?

Why is it Harley makes more money selling foreign fashion accessories than bikes?
Harley Davidson makes more money selling clothing, keychains and "officially licensed merchandise" than they do from selling bikes. Further, 99% of this merchandise is made in china, malaysia, and mexico. Even their bikes contain foreign parts from places like italy and china and are far less reliable or technologically advanced as other bikes. How am I, as a proud American, supposed to get excited about an "American" product, when it is far more inferior, way pricier, and less reliable than most other motorcycles out there and the company that builds it makes most of its money selling foreign fashion garbage? Doesn't spending my hard earned money on something like this just make me stupid?

Most Harley riders are homos who only ride down to the local gay bar to pick up dudes, so they don't need a bike that is reliable or fast. The biggest money maker in the Harley apparel line are the leather assless chaps that the homo Harley dudes love so much...
2 :
Well, I would pretty much expect your question to provoke a firestorm of threats against you, along with verbal abuse. Having said that, you are correct. In my experience (30+ yrs on bikes), people who ride Harleys care more about their "image" than they do about motorcycles. It is supposed to signal they are tough, macho, independent, free-spirit bad boys. Big deal. People who really care about comfort, speed, handling, or long distance abilty will ride something else.
3 :
Absolutely - it does make you a fool to waste your money on that. Why do they sell more products than actual bikes? Because people are sheep, and they will buy anything that is a status symbol. The only thing I would buy with a Harley logo is toilet paper (they sell it I swear!) that way, I could wipe my dirty a*s on their logo!!!!!!!! I never understood the point of paying three times as much for a bike that performs half as well... But, if you build it, morons will come!
4 :
Because you wouldn't buy a Harley for performance, speed, comfort, handling, any of the reasons most bikers buy bikes. Harleys are all about the image, not the actuality, of biking. Most Harleys get ridden very little, some just sit at home getting polished. So the only way their owners can tell the world, "Hey, look at me, I'm a big bad biker" is by wearing lots of Harley branded items. However, this doesn't make them bad people. Just gullible.
5 :
"Doesn't spending my hard earned money on something like this just make me stupid?" No, but getting upset about it does... So does blindly accepting "facts" someone else has posted on the Internet with no proof or references to back them up. Yes, Harley-Davidson uses some foreign content parts to build their motorcycles. So what? So does General Motors, Ford and Chrysler, to name a few... Have you tried to buy an American built television set or personal computer? Honda, Toyota, Nissan and Mitsubishi all build cars and light trucks here in the USA, and our big-three auto makers all sell to markets overseas. It's got to the point that about the only thing you can buy any more that's 100% American sourced and made is the milk you get from your local dairy store (And even then, maybe some of the cows came from Canada...) It's a world market out there. Get Over It!
6 :
Well, you have alot of questions. I have a Harley. It's a 2002 lowrider and I have 34000 miles on it. I have had some minor mechanical problems, but the fun I have had on this bike far outweighs the few problems I have had. I feel confident in saying that should I take a notion to sell my bike I would get alot more out of it then I would a similar bike by another company. I have checked the prices of new bikes similar to mine and they aren't that much cheaper, maybe 20%. I have also checked the price of used bikes with the same miles as mine. They lose roughly 66% of their value, where mine has lost about 25%. That doesn't seem too stupid to me. By the way, Harley motorcycles are made in America by Americans. I've been to the plant and I am proud my purchase keeps americans working. I am aware some parts are foreign made, but most are not. I am also aware that Harley Davidson could care less about keeping americans working, but they have to if they want to keep selling their product. Oh, if you don't like Harleys don't buy one. And don't worry about what I ride.
7 :
This questions really pertains to people's impatience. Rather than save up for a new Harley, it's quicker and cheaper to buy a $300 dollar leather jacket or a $30 tshirt and live the lie at your local bar. Women, who buy more motorclothes than men, love the fashion statement without the financial commitment. Also, I bought a new Harley last year and have put 18,000 trouble free miles on in just under 13 months. The new twin cam engines are amazing and the word "inferior" just doesn't apply...anymore.

I have an idea........to help Mexico and make people love and respect their country and want to stay?

I have an idea........to help Mexico and make people love and respect their country and want to stay?
We are all so pissed about the "illegal immigration" instead of "protesting and wanting to shoot" why don't we fix the problem. Why not use the money that we are currently spending on illegals here usefully. Like select a coaliation of "amazing engineers, politicians, civil rights activists" and have them implement a program in Mexico. I would suggest a year or longer commitment to this plan. Politics aside....you send a force like that and people will stop trying to run and say "lets see what they can do"? What do you think? Hello....read the details...I said USE THE MONEY WE ARE CURRENTLY SPENDING ON ILLEGALS (MEDICAL, FOODSTAMPS, ETC.) AND PAY THE COALITION.

Good idea but who is going to pay this coalition of amazing people? The taxpayers of the USA or the Mexican people? Where does the funds come from? The coalition people can't work for free, either, they have bills to pay and families to feed, too.
3 :
Like a Marshal Plan? I think it's a good idea and worth the cost.
4 :
You are suggesting that we give them even more of our resources then we are now? It is really about law and resources. The more illegals the more criminals..the more resources gone for ever from your family and mine.
5 :
Yeah that's what we need more civil rights activist to pay. I think they need to hire more sharp shooters and protect the borders.

USe the money we are already spending?....And then pay DOUBLE because we'll still be supporting the ones that are still here while this CHANGE is taking place in Mexico?....No thanks.
8 :
I think that it sounds like a great idea, but at the same time Mexico needs a president that gives to their country instead of away from their country. I have been to parts of Mexico and it saddens me to see a beautiful country look so poor.I know alot of people are saying "What about our country" I have to say that at least our country has job opportunities that Mexico don't. Their is a reason why immigrants come here. Instead of looking down on them we should be proud and support them. After all this country was built on immigrants.
9 :
Mexico's big problem is debt.They owe like 161 billion dollars today.They borrowed it from the US and Europe back during the Depression.Maybe they should forgive it.......And here comes the insults....
10 :
It´s a lovely idea, but doesn´t sound like anything the current US administration would go for. After all, while hyping the immigration issue in the media and, frankly, whipping up racism, they are also quite happy to turn a blind eye to US businesses using cheap illegal labour. It´s happening in all western countries at the moment. The media, backed by the government, incites its citizens to be worried about illegal immigration, while the economy actually benefits from the black market economy working with it. I´m in Mexico now on holiday, but staying with family. It´s a hard place, with a bad atmosphere. It definitely needs some help, but everyone here says the corruption is so far reaching, there is no hope. Your idea is nice but too socialist for anyone in today´s political arena and, like Iraq, would require serious investment, commitment and integrity..... never forget it´s all about the money.
11 :
Seems like a good idea. EU had its mexicos too and Germany and France had to pump in a lot of cash to get them up and running. Maybe "a coalition of 'amazing engineers, politicians, civil rights activists'" is a little condescending, though. If I have it right, EU sets macroeconomic targets for its membership candidates. It would take a whole lot more than a year, but eventually would payoff
12 :
Very unlikely the Mexican governement would even consider an action like that. It would disrupt their corruptive system and Mexico depends heavily on the 1/3 of GNP the illegal and legal immigrants send back to Mexico.
13 :
Yeah right! Send them to the bottom of the sea for all I care. Why spend more money on these useless criminals. All the money they get is going back to mexico and el salvador, guatamala ect. You want to give them more? Why don't you leave with them?
14 :
I don't think it would be that easy, but something in that direction could work.
15 :
IT'S NICE WHEN U THINK ABOUT IT, BUT THERE IS TOO MUCH RED TAPE, AND AMERICA HAS HELPED MEXICO ENOUGH
16 :
you live on planet stupid

ha ha yeah like we give them more and more
