This hit close to home with me, seeing your friends go off and start college working and they asking you why you ain't and its hard telling them that your undocumented.

oh boy, there's going to be a war in the comment section... *grabs popcorn*

everybody in florida right now stay safe ! 🙏🏾

I’ve grew up in the United States but when I turned 12 my mother explained to me that I’m undocumented Now fast forward a few years I’m 20 and I have a work permit but I sadly can’t go to college It sucks but I’m here and I’ll keep working

This is not a liberal/conservative thing. It's a people thing. I consider my conservative but these are people. Empathy is something this world needs more of.

those who saying "just become a citizen!" clearly doesn't understand the process to become one

Morality should be based on justice, not feelings. If people could bring their children illegally and the US still accepted those kids with open hands and scholarships, that would be a big green light for a lot more people to bring their families illegally too.

I'm documented and I'm still struck with fear when the cops pull me over

I was actually crying during the part where the girl said you don't know if you'll see them again

Please come to Canada, we will welcome you so hard and try to make you feel at home. We know nothing can replace your home but if you find your self in need please come to Canada

it broke my heart about the being scared your family will be taken away when you're gone...as all my family being legal citizens even I'm scared that will happen..i can't imagine it being such a reality :(

I see a lot of people saying that President Trump and conservatives are against immigrants. I support anyone who is coming from a tough situation and wants to make the United States their new home, but they have to do it LEGALLY.

It's just like cutting in a miles long line, all the way to the front, not paying your way in and demanding rights that don't belong to you, just because your parents took you by the hand. People will probably feel it's not fair.

I'm 17, been here 9 years and finally got my Social Security Number in the mail yesterday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! yay!!

That hit deep in the heart

I know a lot of kids that understand what is happening. They are always scared to leave their loved ones, even for a couple of minutes. They didn't get to choose where they were born or how they came here. All they did was grow up somewhere. #defendDACA

I have read many comments, i wish to remind people of something important. Arguments made on emotion are not well made arguments. You must have a well thought out, broad, and open view of everything in order to properly debate a topic.

The police one is real like bro whenever I hear a police siren I get anxiety bad like I can’t even help

I'm so lucky to be a Canadian, my parents migrated to Canada to give birth to me. I'm grateful for this country

OML how many times are people gonna say "come here legally". It's NOT THAT EASY. They are brought here. It's not there fault. They never had a choice.

I think the only way people will ever understand the hardships and struggles is for them to experience it themselves. Humans are greedy and selfish by nature. Sometimes when I'm angry about how unfair it is I just wish their words could come back and bite them. But then I realize that I'm a much better person than that. I also appreciate those who do try and understand. Words are much easier said than done. One thing my parents have always taught me, is to not judge someone else's struggles unless I've walked in their shoes.

if you read this, have a gr8 day

If you are going to live in any country, getting documented is necessary

This is so heartbreaking.

no one is illegal on stolen land 💗

Im tired of all this trolling. "Send back those who dont belong" "who cares about immigrants" and liberal is suddenly the new F word? Heres an idea, how about insteading of spreading hate,racist comments,trolling comments,the word liberal everywhere. Spread helpful messages, kindness,caring,advice. You know, THE RIGHT THING to do.

# SAVE DAVID DOBRIK

I was undocumented for many years but knew deep inside that i don't want to live undocumented all my life,don't want to struggle, have fears,not be able to travel and feeling stuck.... Being undocumented immigrant is definitely a challenge but i paid for my mistake... Today, I am green card holder and without all those struggles, pain,hard work,good people, my family i wouldn't achieved it... God helped me along the way 🙏 and i am grateful for everything. All things are possible if you believe and have faith!

Love this

What do Immigrants have to do to finally live a life without problems. I mean they were practically children, they didn't have an idea of what was happening and now they are suffering the consequences

thanks for this vid buzzfeed

glad to see an undocumented asian being included

For all the people saying "just come here legally," it's a lot easier said than done. If it was easy, no one would be undocumented. People come to make a better life for themselves and their family, were all just people, we need to stop thinking that an American border somehow makes our worth differ. We're all human. #defenddaca

I wish buzzfeed made more videos like this one...

If you are illegal, you don't file tax returns or pay state or federal income taxes, it costs taxpayers around $10,000 per year per student for education, they drive without licenses or auto insurance, 62% receive some welfare, and all we hear from them Is, "I want, I want, I want." They don't belong here and they don't deserve anything.

Undocumented an unafraid ✊🏾❤️

these people deserve a future and shouldn't be forced to leave from their home. we need to support diversity and accept people.

I really wanted to go to college be a scientist but today i found that i cant be that i dont know what i am going to do i am crying rn

How about trying to get documented... That makes more sense...

I know this issue is still going on today to live in fear when you're illegal is right but to live not in fear when you're illegal is wrong so to come home and think your family is not going to be there then just go with them and do it the right way easier said than done but it is easier because if you do it this way you're scared either way you're scared at home or in the US

The end of this video gave me chills. I was so close to crying

What does the title or vid mean?

Such inspirational people x

My heart broke into a million pieces. How can we allow something like this to happen?? We cannot take families apart. These kids are not criminals they want to give back to their communities. We need to support them as much as we can.

I am scrolling down and seeing all of these comments on "My mom, dad, grandparents, etc. waited years to get to America, it's not fair that people here illegally get support". You're right, it's not fair, but what about the dreamers who didn't even choose to come here? Here's a solution... MAKE THE IMMIGRATION PROCESS EASIER!!! I know, it's easier said than done, but if we can make it just a little easier for incoming immigrants it can make a huge difference in this "illegal immigrant" problem. America's government is far from perfect, (just like how it's always been...) but with this change to make the process easier, more and more people will support America and that means more soldiers, doctors, lawyers, chefs, teachers, and engineers!

Love is always the way

My mom had a friend who was a single mother with two young boys. They came legally but it took over 5years for her and her boys to get their documents. It is not easy! They were in a bad situation and were trying to Escape and have a future.

This breaks my heart to so badly,I wish the United States made things easier to make immigrants and undocumented people who Come here for a better life and bust there asses working the citizenship They all deserve. I hope laws have to push this process🥺😢

What sucks is that some of these people *parents* didn't come here legally. It's not like you can choose who your parents are.

I'm crying watching this 😭 ❤ truly heartbreaking. God bless

My friend is lucky that she became a citizen after only 8 years when so many people are still waiting after 13. I hope her parents and siblings don't have to be forced back to their home country

It was heartbreaking to listen to Obama make the speech announcing DACA in 2012 and think about how now, only a few years later in 2017, not only are 800,000 dreamers having to live in fear of loosing their "home" but also the family and friends that have to worry about keeping them safe.

My mother waited 18 years to come into this country. It's almost an insult to all the hard work my family had to go through to get her to America and everyone thinks that they can just bypass the line of law abiding citzens? and then they expect protection for breaking the law? It's sad and all but it's unfair to all the people who are waiting to come into America LEGALLY EDIT: I know it wasn't the dreamer's choice but we have to hold someone responsible. I feel bad for them, but what'll become of our country if no one follows the laws? Instead of giving them protection for being here ILLEGALLY then we should try and improve the system to make it a little bit easier for them to get here legally. For everyone saying that the system is very hard, there is a reason why the system takes too long. One, because there are so many wonderful people that want to come to America. And Two, because they have to make sure that everyone coming here is safe and that we WANT them in our country. There is a REASON why it's hard. And just because the system is hard doesn't mean DREAMER's parents should have bypassed it because were they came from was troubled. Again, everyone has to be responcible for breaking the law and if it means having to deport the dreamers (I know it's sad) then it has to be done.

So there's a camera just following you guys around?

wow I had no idea. I need to pay attention more.

Couldn't scroll too far without being overwhelmed by a lack of compassion that stems from ignorance. I don't have firsthand experience of what this must feel like, but I have friends that do and help educate me and anyone who wants to learn. DACA is not about the person who made the choice to come here, it's about the ones who were brought here and grew up here. Just imagine that you grew up speaking some German or Hungarian or Swedish at home. You know some of the traditions from family, but you've never been there or don't remember it. Now move there and never come back. What does that feel like? How do you start over?

its come to my attention that I instantly cry everytime that i hear Obama's voice

Even after becoming a citizen I feel like I don't belong. Its nice too know I'm not alone in that feeling.

Hitting send on the Fax made me so nervous. These people now have my email, phone number, and full name after I wrote them a letter slightly angrily expressing my feelings about this.

I don't think the majority of people understand how hard it is for people from predominately non-white countries to even get visas... my Spanish teacher is from Peru and I took her 8 years to get a working visa even though she was a highly educated individual with a masters degree and financial stability. People just need to check their privilege and try to understand the struggle of becoming a citizen when you aren't born into it.

yall Its hard for me to sympathize I mean I have no problem with it but also take in consideration that these people coming illegal does have a negative effect so I can see why people are pissed lol

*refreshes page until BuzzFeed videos go away*

Wow that is soo scary cause you'll always be on edge

💔

Me wow BuzzFeed got 13 million subs

It's hard to look at the comments especially since I am an immigrant (legal) and just seeing people saying to deport DACA kids or that some people saying things they have no idea about and it's just heart breaking💔

my best friend was recently deported ill never forget her

i actually cried watching this i just wanna scoop them up and bring them to england

#DefendDACA (and David Dobrik😂)

Nobody should be scared of being kicked out of a home. Unless you broke in. All ya had to do was knock on the door and ask if you could come in. But instead you climbed I'm through the window and are complaining that your facing consequences.

Hello, im not from the US, so can someone please explain to me not only what undocumented means, but why they cant become documented over time?

This is so sad I can't believe this is happening you guys do belong here and in my eyes you guys are welcomed here. A lot of Theses undocumented people make a better impacted in America then most documented people do and it makes me sad that we have a president that wants to get rid of DACA.

This video was kind of useless. People against undocumented immigrants KNOW these things are happening and think these people deserve it for not coming here legally. What you need to make these people understand is that it wasn't you who illegally moved here, it was your FAMILY, and you were brought along. You were a minor, even a baby, and you deserve a happy life in a country you love no matter where your parents came from.

Some immigrants spend good money and come to america the "right way", but others just come in with little money. That's pretty unfair for those who came to here legally

No documents get out.. help americans not terrorist

Thank you Buzzfeed for making this wonderful video about why legal immigration is a good idea

Y'all saying "just come here legally" or "just get your citizenship" obviously don't understand how hard it actually is.

Good luck guys !! Never give up !!

I know a way to fix this immigration problem, in the constitution it states that anyone who is born in America is legally an American citizen, in other countries, at least one of the parents need to be a citizen of that country so the child could be a citizen, I think we should use this rule, because the problem is, illegal immigrants come into this country and have children, and then the government can't kick the parents out because someone needs to support the children, if this rule was in place, this wouldn't be a problem, and the rate of immigration will go down

My heart goes out to the Dreamers out there.

😭

Beautiful people with beautiful minds !

I t ' s c a l l e d b e i n g i l l e g a l. Why should I feel sorry for you if you are HERE ILLEGALLY.

Love how immagrents get more benefits then Americans who's family has been in this country for 400 years.

I understand these people needed a country but it's not fair to those people who waited 10-20 years to legally become citizens in any country.

Wow, the stuff people go through...

It's hard but things get better

Its such a one way view. Make a video on "How its like being invaded by FOREIGNERS" so we can see other peoples pains too :D

Just come to the US legally

It’s not that we hate them, you just gotta do the papers. I understand they want freedom, and that they are brave enough to come over here, the land of the free. Come here legally and enjoy freedom!

Well yeah if you are illegal in the country and aren't a citizen it's unfair to the people that are and have a citizenship not just for people born in the country but for immigrants as well. It just makes sense that if you want to live in the country you become a citizen because it tells the government that you agree to follow the law and in return get your rights protected and if you aren't a citizen then you aren't agreeing to anything so it makes sense to get deported. Not trying to hate just the truth. I get that if you didn't have a choice to come into the country but that shouldn't be an excuse. I get that the process isn't easy to become a citizen but if you are scared for yourself and family you would be willing to go through that process.

oh no I'm undocumented I'm eleven I need a social security number nowwwww!😰

It's mind blowing that this is even up for debate. 800 000 children could be deported back to a country they know nothing about, America is all they truly know. Is that what will make "America great again?" Where is America's compassion? Stop telling yourselves that you are the best country in the world, step up and be decent. Be Human.

if u love this video read the book "something in between" its really puts un in a situation which u understand

My suspected undocumented neighbor : Calling me & my mom racial slurs & throwing nails in our yard whilst chopping a tree on our side of the street with a machete. ME: finds out she’s undocumented & gets the bucket of water out for the winter

Ice Ice baby do do do

This is so sad but my parents went through HELL to get a greencard my mom had to wait 13 years to get a citizenship and now she finally got one my dad came to america from when russia was a soviet union and there was communism and my dad had to leave everyone behind when he was only 19 and my mom left when she was 17 this is sad and heartbreaking but everyone who is illegal should get a citizenship and I know its hard and i know im going to get criticm

buzzfeed doing deep stuff and I'm sitting over here all like "I made a tape purse...yay diy...and i recorded and uploaded it!"

People don't really don't understand. It can take up to 8 years to become a citizen in the United States for an adult. Then comes the money and the test you have to study for.
