I just signed up recently. But kevin , that was an extremely touching letter. I myself wrote a letter to Barack Obama. Unlike you, I am a non citizen waiting for my greencard to arrive since 2003. My papers got misplaced in the the immigration offices in texas, which has really worked against me. I attend classical high school in Providence, RI and I am a senior with honors. I am an artist and a medical assistant. I am graduating June 11, and unfortunately, I cannot attend college because my residency status is "yet to be proven". My mother is a biology, chemistry, and anatomy teacher at a high school, and we both pay taxes for this country. I have a driver's liscence and I serve the community, much more than most people. And still, I do not qualify for in-state tuiton for URI. I do not understand this, I do not think its fair. People misjudge immigrants, and always tell us to move back. Newflash: if our countries werent filled with paramilitary forces threatening our lives or 30 percent un empolyment rates, we wouldn't be leaving them in the first place.Its just all so wrong and overwhelming. All I want to do is go to school, work at least up to my masters degree and SERVE this country, and I cannot do it because the law does not allow me to do so..<BR/><BR/><BR/>- Sofia C.MS.
