I just got my green card after 9 years of living on a TN. I've got a family -- my kids have spent about half their lives in this country.
Even though I was in legally and knew eventually things would work out, there's not one week that went by where I didn't think that if I lost my job I'd have to leave, or wasn't given a reminder that we're foreigners and could lose it.
To be in the country illegally and be fearful of losing it all at any time, or to claim asylum only to know there's a court date coming where you could get kicked out, well, I don't wish that on anyone.
