A man named Roberto David, dreamed to make it big in life. The purpose is to live comfortably-meaning to be able to pay the bills on time, without hassle. Even just a bit of it-he wanted to taste. To support his family-pluck them out of poverty was actually the main target.
He chartered the thousand mile distance to land in the country with greener pasture-so he thought. Little did he know, the green pasture was to be plowed, tilled, and tended in order to stay green.
He chartered the thousand mile distance to land in the country with greener pasture-so he thought. Little did he know, the green pasture was to be plowed, tilled, and tended in order to stay green.
In the absence of a legal status in the country he landed, trials started zig-zagging his way. Without a green card, he can't get a high paying job despite his college degree. He accepted odd jobs getting paid lower than minimum wage because he needed to get by-more so, to survive. He managed to snag employment at different companies using different credentials. But mostly he sought employment which were under the table-poverty, though, did not push him to defile his soul.
Applying for a green card wasn't easy. He tried to apply, but to no avail. With his Mom's approved petition - Roberto pursued immigration. But immigration won't budge. With little people like Roberto-it's not supposed to. Roberto was not important enough for immigration to bow.
What then would a soul do-to satisfy the requisite of a comfortable life? Does Roberto deserve it? Do any of us deserve it?
