I -like many other professionals- came here via an employer who sponsored me. It's been over 10 years of keeping legal status which comes with a hefty price tag (about $20,000 over 10 years) I see illegal immigrants some with criminal records get a break through the system. But the system forgot about people like me I'm an attorney I'm licensed in California (2006) and in Mexico (1997) I'm honest, hard working, pay my taxes done pro-bono work every year, yet according to the immigration system I dont deserve a break I deserve to get deported by October 2011. I hope the US government changes its message and stops giving breaks to those who break the law and give people like me a break and allow me to stay without a sponsor. I've earned it, a hell of a lot more than those here illegally
