Don't come asking me for advice on how to break the law.
I'm asking for advice on how I could pay for college. That is it. I already realize I've unintentionally broke the law and I've been reminded often enough.
Read the edit in the post. I cannot change my status with an overstayed visa, so it's not a matter of choice or lack of will. I didn't come to HN to be lynched.
The measure, known as the DREAM Act, would have granted temporary legal status to most illegal immigrants under age 30 who were brought here before age 16, and who have been in the country at least five years. It would have granted a further path to citizenship to those who go on to college or join the U.S. military.

I know, don't you hate that? I came up to this girl just wanting sex, not to get peppersprayed and called a rapist.
