Cue the tiny violins for this illegal alien, brought illegally by her parents. Tawheeda Wahabzada is a “Dreamer”, who, unshockingly, is working as a researcher for a non-profit in D.C., one that appears to be all about intersectionality and pushing “equality”. And she’s totally going to leave in 2020!
No Need to Deport Me. This Dreamer’s Dream Is Dead.
I am a Dreamer. I have lived in the United States since 1995. I plan to self-deport in early 2020.
I grew up in Carson City, Nev., from kindergarten until I left for college in Reno. I’ve celebrated Thanksgiving for as long as I can remember. I participated in local soccer leagues as a kid. I pledged allegiance to the American flag. This is the country I call home.
Because of circumstances beyond my control, I am undocumented. I was born in Toronto and was brought to the United States at age 5 by my parents, who were refugees from Afghanistan. I am one of the approximately 700,000 Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) recipients in America today. As a result, I have lived my life in perpetual limbo — and in the shadows.
When I turned 18, I watched my friends vote in the 2008 presidential elections and could not do the same. I could not receive federal financial aid for colleges that other prospective students applied for. I watched my classmates get jobs and obtain a driver’s licenses, but I could not work or drive legally.
Blame your parents for putting you in this position, rather than seemingly scapegoat your classmates and others.
DACA changed my life. In May 2012, I graduated from the University of Nevada, Reno, with a double major in international affairs and French. I was worried, uncertain and ready to leave the country. There were zero possibilities for me to work legally. Serendipitously, President Obama introduced DACA the next month, so I decided to stay. Until then, I had no idea what future I could have. My dream was to pursue a career in human rights and international affairs. I saw that as an absolute pipe dream, because someone with undocumented status cannot freely travel abroad.
You took the college spot and soaked up taxpayer money that should have gone to a legal U.S. citizen, and, instead of getting a degree with value, you got those.
Under DACA, I obtained my driver’s license. I later earned my master’s degree from the Lyndon B. Johnson School of Public Affairs at the University of Texas at Austin. While I was a graduate student, I interned for former Senate majority leader Harry Reid. I eventually found work in Washington, where I am pursuing a career at an NGO promoting the transparency and accountability of governments throughout the world. I could even travel abroad for work purposes. This has been a lifeline, for which I am grateful. But DACA is not a permanent fix.
So, whiny left wing agitator.
In 2012, when DACA was introduced, I thought it could be a steppingstone to having permanent status. However in September 2017, the Trump administration announced its plans to terminate DACA by March 5, 2018 — though injunctions from lower courts allowed applications to still be received. Recently, the Supreme Court agreed to hear the case, but with a conservative-leaning court, there is greater potential for DACA to end.
This is why I am leaving the United States. I am 29. I have waited 24 years for a solution. Like all DACA recipients, I have been living my life in two-year increments — the duration of my temporary status. I will no longer keep waiting for the idea of a pathway to citizenship.
Bye.
The ugly politics of the United States leave me with no desirable choice. I no longer wish to be a bargaining chip for a border wall. I am no longer willing to be another sob story to win votes. I can no longer go to bed every night with the anxiety of such an unsecure future. But I am privileged that by chance I was born in a high-income country to which I can easily return. I am privileged to have the agency to leave.
Isn’t that the great irony? To live the American dream of opportunity and autonomy, I must leave.
She loves the country but takes every chance to demean it, all because she can’t get her way. This is a problem with these Dreamers, and so many illegals: they demand. They demand healthcare, education, housing, money, and easy citizenship, but, are more than willing to slight America at the drop of a hat. They aren’t humble, they don’t say please. So, bye bye.
Of course, we all know that, just like all the leftards who’ve stated that they would leave if Bush 43 won re-election/Trump won in 2016 that they would leave, they didn’t, nor will Tawheeda Wahabzada.
Don’t let the door hit you in the ass.
Oh wait I do hear the sounds of a tiny violin playing..
Her parents fled Canada to bring her here not Afghanistan.
Bummer ? Teach
One is such a small number
Your messiah Trump has
Not been able to build the Great Wall
Or make Mexico pay for it
The only good news seems to be that one dreamer is planning on leaving the USA
And?? Tech what about that surrender monkey ??
John,
The problem that you and other liberals have, one of many, is that you are unaware of what is happening. The wall is being built, there is no debate about that fact. As to payment, that will come in due time. My question is why do liberals desire to have illegals in our country. They take American jobs, they reduce the pay scale by 30%, they are mostly criminals (despite what you are told), they take money from our country in the form of social programs, they don’t pay their hospital bills. The list goes on. What crime put you in jail?
I can’t tell if John is a liberal. There isn’t enough sentence structure to classify him as anything other than mentally impaired. I’m guessing drugs and alcohol.
Prof,
John has been here for about 10 years. He is a hard core communist. He comments on his phone while driving his UPS truck. He has not been here for about 2 years thus my reference to jail.
John is Jeffery when he’s drinking.
John predates jeff. But both come across with the same stupid thoughts and positions.
formwiz is TEACHs belligerent and stupid sockpuppet.
TEACHwiz has gaslighted you by claiming to be Edward Sibley Doucher.
One constant in The Cove is that the Covians think there is just one non-MorCon, i.e., john, Elwood, Zachriel, Bill Bear etc… all the same person according to the MorCons.
MorCons are cloistered souls, and don’t mix with normal society much.
He’s building it and Mexico is playing for it by finally dealing with its own problems.
She doesn’t say where she will be self-deporting to. Going to Canada is not much different than “self-deporting” to Michigan.
“When I turned 18, I watched my friends vote in the 2008 presidential elections and could not do the same. I could not receive federal financial aid for colleges that other prospective students applied for. I watched my classmates get jobs and obtain a driver’s licenses, but I could not work or drive legally.”
IOW, she KNEW she was in the country illegally all the time and took no steps to change the situation, KNOWING that she could be legally deported at any time.
“I was born in Toronto and was brought to the United States at age 5 by my parents, who were refugees from Afghanistan.”
This is one case where a person can realistically blame her parents for her problems.
The trump minions are filled with hate cruelty. Here is a young woman, brought to the US as a child, and has made a life for herself. It sounds like you’re jealous of her accomplishments and wish to punish her.
My advice to her would be to wait until trump loses in 2020, he’ll resign in shame then, and DACA will once again be taken seriously.
TEACH is a disgusting, petty man; absolutely disgusting.
TEACH is a disgusting, petty man; absolutely disgusting.
Wow. Just wow.
You write that after accusing people who want to uphold the law and the 14th amendment as being filled with “hate cruelty.”
That’s what hate will do to people on the left. As hate is all they have, they self project their hatred onto others.
It’s the law! Uphold the law! Screams the anti-immigration crowd.
Isn’t it against the law to hire undocumented workers? Trump Inc has hired undocumented workers. Should THAT law be enforced?
Calling TEACH disgusting, cruel and petty is hateful, but TEACH cruelly mocking a young woman who has been a productive resident is valiant.
All the right has is hate and cruelty. That’s your objective – to hate and to punish.
Jeff,
Learn to read. The woman works for a PAK. She is sitting around waiting for the worst president in our history (Obama) to solve her problem. The best president (Trump) stopped her worry, great, winning. I have friends with this same issue and worse, yet they are now citizens by following the path. This woman’s problems are not mine nor is the country responsible. But the Dems could quit playing politics with peoples lives and formulate an immigration policy with the Republicans rather than playing politics. But you would not understand such things.
Jeff,
If Teach is so bad, why do keep coming here?
You called it david7134, the DemComs are the ones who refuse to help settle the immigration problem and they are the ones who don’t give a rats ass about folks like Felicia or they would have spent the last three years fixing the Illegal and legal immigration problem instead of ONCE AGAIN trying to overthrow the U.S. government.
If anyone is “cruel” it’s the DemComs. They care about two things: power and votes.
Trump 2020 Stop the DemComs cruelty!!
Because TEACH is so bad.
Wait, what? I thought you told us that Mr Trump would no longer be President by the end of 2019!
So, if President Trump loses the 2020 election, now you are predicting that he will resign between election day and January 20, 2021? Please, be specific.
DACA should not be taken seriously; it was a failure of President Obama to enforce the law.
I fail to see that watching someone exercise her freedom of choice by back to Canada, where she speaks BOTH official languages, and will fit right in with the existing culture, is in any way “cruel”. It’s CANADA!
We can’t fix immigration until the trumpublicans are gone.
Is this your plan?
Build a magnificent wall. Lock up asylum seekers. Withdraw support from Central American nations. Separate children from their parents as a deterrent. Round up the DACA recipents. Raid businesses with suspected violators (except trump businesses and GOP donors).
Yeah, that does sound like a pretty good plan to me!
We want legal immigrants who have gone through the vetting process and have the skills, education and talents to support themselves and be positive contributors to our economy. We do not need more low-skilled illegal immigrants who will be drags on our welfare systems.
Send this woman back to Canada, and then she can apply for legal status from there.
The Democratic “planâ€- let them in and give them free shit. Brilliant!
No. You could go back and read the various bipartisan “comprehensive” immigration plans that have been proposed over the years, but that would contradict your “open borders” lie.
Increased border security
Path to green card for current undocumented
Guest worker program?
Upgrade our asylum system
Upgrade our legal immigration system
Increase visa security
Repair the State Dept that trump gutted
If you think that deportation is going to solve the problem you’re a fool. We cannot deport 11 million children, women and men, many here for decades. You know it and trump knows it, but his policy proposal – built a beautiful wall and deport, deport, deport is to satisfy his anti-immigrant base.
If you believe that immigrants (even illegal immigrants) are harming America, you’re not paying attention.
As the economy cools, trump will increase his attacks on immigrants. It will be all he has left.
Elwood, you really should be out there with our comrades shouting: “No Trump, No Wall, No America at all!”
And your platform is to destroy the economy so you can herd the poor back on the plantation.
Bush Jr. Tried Immigration reform which included some things amiable to the right. The problem was all the things the left wanted were up front and all the things the right wanted would be pushed down the road to a later date….as in aint happening BUBS.
The bill would have increased enforcement of the United States-Mexico border, including increasing the number of border patrol agents by 20,000 and adding another 370 miles (600 km) of fencing, among others.
Do you see what is wrong with this for the right? 20k new union jobs while adding 370 miles of fencing which would have to be voted on each year by congress which then after the bill passed would have resulted in NOPE not gonna happen.
Even the left was anti-immigrant up until Trump was for it as evidenced by protests against the Obama administration prior to him doing executive action on DACA.
It was actually the right who was in favor of allowing immigrants into the nation until they started to realize this was baffoonery since all these people were voting for Democrats. Then when the left realized the right wanted to be rid of fresh new voters….well its open the borders and let er rip.
Jl, you forgot let them murder, rape and steal from Americans. Let them harvest our children for sex and steal our identities. Let them bring in disease and invade our schools with illiterates and non English speakers to take away needed teachers for our own kids. Let them fill up emergency rooms until out entire health system goes broke. Give them licences so they can drive and kill Americans on the road and so they can vote for DemComs of course.
And my personal favorite: let them stay so they can bring thousands of law suits to steal even more taxpayer money and enrich leftist lawyers by claiming mistreatment and denial of Constitutional rights.
In short, Elwood wants them here to vote DemCom and commit the murders, rapes and child molestation Americans won’t commit. Oh, and his main objective: to make Caucasians a minority because white man bad.
Your commitment to Americas future greatness is noted. I assume plan B is to ruin our economy with a New Green/Red Deal. Destroy the culture, genocide whites, create a one party system, and ruin the economy.
For those of you who still close your eyes about the desires of the leftist raaaaacists:

There is only one “a” in racist.
CNN’s Anderson Cooper said during an interview with Univision anchor Jorge Ramos that he found the demographic decline of white people “excitingâ€.
“The idea that, you know, whites will not be the majority, I mean, that’s — it’s an exciting transformation of the country, it’s an exciting evolution and you know, progress of our country in many different ways,†said Cooper.
Ramos agreed that whites becoming a minority in America was inevitable and a positive development.
“There’s nothing really they can do against this incredible demographic revolution. And in 2044, everyone is going to be a minority,†he said.
The media has repeatedly asserted that even raising the “conspiracy theory†of “the great replacement†or the demographic decline of white people puts you on a par with mass shooters and terrorists.
However, it’s apparently completely fine to talk about the issue so long as you proclaim the demographic decline of whites to be a positive thing.
Not thrilled about being replaced in the country your ancestors founded: you’re a “Supremacist” just ask Elwood.
Understand White People, you’re already in a race war. And you’re losing. The only race in history who has convinced itself to self eradicate because they hate THEMSELVES is the modern Caucasian.
No one is being replaced, although it is possible we could lose part of our white privilege.
Perhaps we could learn to live together.
Do you believe a white minority would exist differently than a white majority does now? If so, why?
How will you stop the demographic trend, since the “problem” is the fertility rate of Hispanics already here? Should we just start deporting Hispanics and encourage white women to have more babies?
You’re afraid, and trump is taking advantage of you.
The bunny suit doesn’t want to live together. He wants that Brown Wave to wipe out all the white people.
And we’ve been hearing about white people being the minority for 40 years and it ain’t happened yet.
Actually the fertility rate of Hispanics is also taking something of a nosedive, too.
We’ll, the Hispanics are being deported and white women, the Conservative ones anyway, seem to be having lots of kids.
So I guess we’re voting for Trump for some other reason.
The KKK suit loves trump because trump hates and punishes the same people that the KKK suit hates.
Cruelty is the point. People like you derive pleasure seeing the undeserving “other” hurt.
Once again you ignorant fool, I’m not afraid of anything nor anyone. I did my tour in hell and I fear nothing. So if you want to discuss a point accusing me of being afraid is not a good starting point.
If you say on one is being replaced then say the U.S. will be 55% POC by 20XX then you’re either lying to us or lying to yourself.

Whites were 90% in 1950 but now 64% 14% b and 18% h. THAT is deliberate, premeditated racial replacement. And yes, I do believe a white minority would live differently than a white majority does now. If you recall I had family in South Africa and have personal experience watching and enduring a power shift of racial proportions. After 80 years of leftist propaganda about how whites have been responsible for every problem of minorities how do you think whites will fair as a minority. Have you listened to what many black and Hispanic leaders have said about “eliminating” whites? Or don’t they show that on Vox and CNN?
You opine that perhaps we could learn to live together. People, BY NATURE, seek out their own. We naturally separate into tribes with similar interests and goals. Diversity is not only a lie it’s also against human nature (like most things the left promotes). We’ve been force fed the bullshite that diversity makes us strong. No it doesn’t. Unity and a homogeneous society makes us strong. It’s E Pluribus Unum not the reverse. Anyone who says “Diversity makes us stronger” is a fukin’ liar.
We can’t stop a “demographic trend” but this is a demographic invasion. We should stop bringing in immigrants who are not white unless they offer a substantial reason to do so. Right now the prosperous, educated and well heeled POC who want to actually be Americans have already come. The people crossing the border illegally are the dregs of other societies. They do not make America better they just add Dem votes which is why you want them allowed in and why you want me to support them with my taxes.
WE DON”T NEED ANY MORE IMMIGRANTS, LEGAL OR ILLEGAL for perhaps 20 years. And yes, we should deport any illegal Hispanics and anyone else and Yes, we should encourage white women to have more babies. Why not? You do realize that the U.S. was started and built by white men, don’t you? They built on Western Civilization from Rome to the Renaissance to the Reformation to the Enlightenment to the Industrial Revolution. No other race did that! There’s a reason. And there is no moral reason our nation should be sliced and diced into a diverse mess just to appease the false god of diversity.
You realize also there are no known people building rafts out of garbage to ESCAPE FROM America? It’s a one way street and it MUST stop or America will not be America.
Not the way you say it.
