..................... I should say left LAWFULLY.
But DAMMIT!!!!! I only left the USofA coz they closed the Grandfather *&* G.I. clauses of the Immigration Act (Thank you George ya great piece of unwelcome lint in the fabric of politics).
I WANTED TO STAY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And I wanted to work - and pay taxes - and vote - and travel IN the country - and work - and pay taxes - and become a citizen - and rediscover my American heritage.
But NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO......................... *I* wasn't good enough.
And so NOW they are talking about "Let 'em own up - pay up and test up - then they can stay"
I WOULD HAVE DONE THAT!!!!
I would have blown and swallowed George W if he would have let me sta.......... *erp* - hang on........ Just threw up in my mouth a little bit.
SERIOUSLY !!! - I had an American GI grandfather and coz of a legal requirement that my Grandmother didn't know about - i.e. registering the birth of my mother with the US - I couldn't stay. And we could PROVE the birth resulted from a documented American.
I have never been arrested - never gone to jail - I've had TWO parking tickets - and that's IT !!
*sigh* - not happy....................................... not happy.................... if it passes I am TOTALLY sneaking back in and changing my name to Julio.
No offence to my Latino/a readers - but WOW this bites.
And Same Sex Immigration is SO far away I'll be dead before THAT passes.
........sad face.................... sad face.....................
Shalom
