[quote=Anonymous]The struggle was being illegal for over a decade. I got my work permit right before the economic down turn. Getting a new job, any job, during that time was very difficult. It took me 17 years to get my Bachelors for example. I also missed the property ladder, and decades of saving for retirement. So many opportunities went by and I couldn't do anything about it. I think the struggles are very different and depend on so many things. I already spoke English and picked up Spanish here fairly fast. My degree ended up being in Finance and I'm latest investment made me financially free. I have not been treated badly by Americans because of my accent or questioned whether I was allowed to be in the country. The way I look probably helps a lot. I work with immigrants from all over the world. They have totally different struggles. [/quote]
