I'm stateless. It's terrible. I want so badly for there to be help somewhere, but there really isn't. So many places I've contacted and none have even given me a sliver of hope.

funny how your 'human rights' only exist if you're a subject of a state

How does a stateless person get deported when they have zero citizenship anywhere else in the world?

Here in the US, we need to focus first on prosecuting those who enter our country illegally. That's the first problem we need to tackle, then we can move onto these issues. Not one red cent for these causes until we've solved the problem of illegal immigration.
