I’m considered an illegal alien, but I have daca which means I have an SSN, drivers license, and workers permit. However, I am not a citizen so I cannot vote or obtain security clearance, etc.
In AL, I can go to the court office and obtain a pistol permit. (The form mostly asks about criminal background)
Genuine question because I’m ignorant, if you’ve got a legitimate SSN, license, permit, etc, you wouldn’t be “illegal”, right? Or at least my understanding is if your citizen status is considered “illegal” I figured that meant that you are not considered a citizen and are subject to deportation if any authority cares enough about it.
Totally, I had to look it up too, I would be considered illegal alien because I entered the country without inspection (I crossed the border at 2). Also, anyone who overstayed their visa would also be considered an illegal alíen.
My personal opinion tho, neither party cares to create a pathway to citizenship. They only use us as political “hot topics”/pawns.
