I have to admit that when I decided to start a blog, I had no idea it meant a huge commitment. I have seldom struggled finding topics to write or comment about. More importantly, I feel a constant frustration because politicians, including President Obama, continue playing "good 'ol Washington politics", completely ignoring the pain and damage done to families and individuals who have come here simply to work and nothing else.
As time passes, I feel that notion of limbo luring me back again. Every now and then, I contemplate returning to my home nation. I imagine and see people thriving and living a life full of happiness and carefree. But then I realize that family means everything to me. I cannot imagine a life away from my loved ones. Those who have given me the strength and will to succeed and become somebody in this great nation. Every Dreamer knows what I'm talking about. It's not a good feeling, but i happens.
On the other hand, I hate to think that another year will go by and nothing will be accomplished for the DREAM Act or CIR. I truly want to believe that something will be done soon. My hope for the future of this nation lies in the thousands of Dreamers who are eager to make a better future for themselves. They will rise and fuel the progress that is much needed in these dire times.
I wish for that and nothing else.

ReplyDeleteThanks for this post. You seemed to find the thoughts that have been circling my mind in the past month. Family. This is the main reason a lot of us stay.
