Why I May Get Deported -- DACA

So what recently happened is, well, let me just start by saying this. It's 9:45 right now, and about 15 minutes ago, our flight started boarding for Australia. But we're sitting here at my house because I found out this morning that I'm not allowed to leave the country. Ever again. That was so dramatic. I am, roll the intro music again. No, I'm allowed to leave the country. If I leave, I can't reenter. And I found this out because I am what you would, I'm protected under DACA. And long story short, DACA is an executive order made by Barack Obama to basically help childhood arrivals, kids that came here without basically their consent or without their idea of coming here, 'cause their parents brought them overseas or brought them from wherever, and they basically grew up here. So like me, I'm not a citizen, I don't have a visa, I don't have a green card. I would basically be an illegal citizen if it wasn't for DACA. But I was raised here since I was 5, and I'm as American as it gets. You know I'm pretty American.

Douchiest, most douchey person I know. That's the biggest American. When I go out— mouth hotshot, smacks his lips at the table, calls the waiter with his hand, excuse me, excuse me, sits down, sits down before the waiter could even speak and says, we're in a…

Every time I have a waiter, I'm always just like, I'm always like, listen, this is my exact line for every waiter. And I know they spit in my food after every time I say this, but I go, hey, I'm trying to say this in the least douchey way possible, but we're…
