Because as someone said below it's not going to fix things just by being in another place I like better. Being illegal is a hard life with constant risk and lack of access to many things. It's not "really easy" at all and I don't know why anyone would think that. I need MORE stability than I have...not less. I said I am going to move because I refuse to die in this miserable country after what it's done to me. The only power I have left is to choose where it ends. It's not like I think moving will solve things in itself. I am in bad shape all around and am sick of suffering and the common response being to teach myself how to swim and get a job as a swim instructor as I am drowning. The clear lesson is society here thinks if you cannot produce consistently or enough for their ledger then you don't deserve to live. That's that.

> Being illegal is a hard life with constant risk and lack of access to many things It's a hard life in the US, often with access to even less things than illegal immigrants have here. Not sure what this "constant risk" is, unless you engage in violent crime you'll find it very difficult to get yourself deported. By far the biggest thing you lose is the ability to fly around easily, but it remains (and will remain) easy to sneak out after overstaying your visa waiver. > It's not "really easy" at all and I don't know why anyone would think that Because I know multiple illegal immigrants who vastly improved their lives by moving. A good friend of mine spent 4 years going in and out of KS state prisons, after a while he decided that he needed a change of scenery and hopped on a plane to Spain. There's little chance he could get a visa without lying, but that hasn't really affected his life. He makes a living freelancing online, gets paid to his US account and pays the IRS. Here he enjoys access to excellent healthcare without risking bankruptcy.
