Hello all, I’m a 22m. I hate to be a downer,but I’ve grown disillusioned with Daca ever becoming a reality for me. My application is frozen as I applied last year only to have it frozen. Due to the current ruling surrounding daca and it’s future I’ve grown a little apathetic. I believe the best choice we’ve got for something more permanent is compromising, border security funding in exchange for daca or something of the like. Though it seems neither side is seriously willing to compromise because “how will I get elected next term, if I can’t string these suckers along with false hope”. Only a few well natured individuals seem to genuinely be working for a solution. I’ve seen what daca has done for people in my own community and I can’t help but want it as well.

Though if things keep seeming more hopeless I don’t intend to stick around waiting on false hope.I entered with a visa when I was like 5, just overstayed that welcome lol. I’ve looked into it a bit and can I turn myself into immigration saying “hey I want to go back of my own free will but I’d also like the ability to come back to the us as a tourist or with a work visa” I’m not sure if that might work but does anyone have experience with that? I really love the us but I can’t work in any industry I’d like to being like this. So like smash mouth said “the years start coming and they don’t stop coming” am I better off waiting to see what happens then just dipping out through immigration?
