A Legal immigrant should stand tall and proud (you're an American (or citizen of the country you immigrated to)).
An Illegal one, should become offended and go HOME.

There is a big difference between being a LEGAL immigrant and an ILLEGAL one. Those are two worlds apart. being legal means you have followed the rules, adapted to the legal system and are living under the laws you have accepted to follow and apply. being illegal means that you came here without the nations consent that you have no respect for the laws (since you broke the most important one duh!) nor the people or the system you live in regardless of what you bring to this nation and its economy. And outlaw is just that.

You are an immigrant.. but not by choice? If you are being held slave by someone, contact the police immediately.
Are you saying you are an illegal alien and you simply don't want to return because you don't know what you face when you do return? I am sorry.. you knew you were breaking the law when you came,and you choose to break the law. And let me reassure you.. everyone knows that if they break this law, or that law, they will live better.
I would suggest you return home and work to make it a better place to live.

How were you forced to come to this country? Did your parents bring you here in search of that mythical 'better life?' Are they legal or illegal?
If your reading comprehension is up to the task, you'll find that most of the vitriol here is directed specifically at illegals. If you've made common cause in your own mind with illegals, then, like them, you should react to whatever criticism you recieve or hatred you percieve by leaving.
You may have to wait until you're 18 if you're still a minor - however you feel, you should not defy your parents by running away. Though, if they're illegal, feel free to report them to ICE. Then they'll have to take you home.

I don't want you to do anything. I just hope you meet some nice people. Immigrants make this country great. Best wishes.

i am an immigrant myself. I live here for close to seven years. I never had a problem, besides the "wheres your accent from?" Some folks tell me that they wish everybody would make the same effort of integrating and learning english.

I'm sorry you were forced to come here.
If you're an immigrant then you and your family have Green Cards or you're all naturalized citizens. That means you're all here legally.
I'll tell you a secret. You can give-up your Green Card and leave. Yes. You're not trapped here. You can also go back to your country of origin and renounce your American citizenship in case you are a naturalized citizen.
I hope you'll be able to leave soon and that you'll be happy in the country you came from. Good luck. God bless.

Americas problem is with illegal aliens not legal immigrants. You can thank illegal aliens and their supporters for intentionally trying to blur the lines of the two. Luckily, the vast majority of Americans can see the difference and will support those who are hurting as a result of the irresponsibility of illegal aliens and their supporters.

Since you say you are legal, then you should understand why the illegals are a huge problem. If the problem grows, then so will the criticism.
Unless you are helping fight the problem, you are part of the problem, and that would make you a racist!

Sorry for the haters here and that you are in a position you didn't choose. I am assuming you were brought here as a child 'for a better life' not through approved means.
Good thing the Native Americans didn't have a written law making it illegal for others to claim their land back in the day, huh? That would make so many of the holier-than-thous have illegal roots themselves - gasp!
Don't feel guilty for your parents' choice. It will all work out OK.
