Why I May Get Deported -- DACA

It was such a stupid comment, and like, especially when you pay $400 grand in taxes, I don't even, I obviously expect citizenship, but I expect a fucking ginormous chocolate cake to be delivered to my front door. That's a lot of money, and the fact that I can't travel in and out of the country for, you know, without any problem is ridiculous. And let me tell you that the, the immigration people, at least here in LA, are douche nuggets. Guys, if you're listening to this and your parent is an immigration lawyer— or not immigration lawyer— is an immigration, like, staff member in the immigration office, they're probably a douchebag, and you need to sit down with them and have a conversation. I went to one today, uh, this was the second one I've ever gone to. I, um, I was trying to get— I was trying to go to Australia, and the way I would get approved for this is 3 months ahead of time, and I have to show that there's gonna be a financial issue if I don't go, that I'm not gonna make money or whatever. So I went. I went this morning, and I gave him a contract that said if I don't go to Australia today, I will not make $30,000 that I am planned to make, that I have signed a contract to make at VidCon.

And he's like, no, that's if you go to Australia, but there's no loss right now because you're not going to Australia.

I can't even wrap my head around what you're saying. I'm trying to wrap it around. I understand what you're saying. I'm trying to understand what he was thinking. He was— there's no loss.
David17:13
So in other words, he was saying you're not losing $30,000 'cause you haven't made it yet, 'cause I haven't approved you to go on this trip. Jesus. Like the shittiest catch-22. That's not even a catch-22. It's just, it was bullshit. And he's such a douche. Li…
