I know it's dangerous regarding the law but now i don't mind anymore i'm feed up living in europe and ready to take this risk, so what do you think about hat ?
you are not entitled to live in the US just because you don't like where you are. immigration is for the benefit of the host country (any host country), and if you can't get a visa, there's a reason. if you follow through with your plan to become an illegal alien, i hope you are mistaken for a mexican everywhere you go! i hear that you spaniards LOVE that!

Furthermore, you will be a terrible contribution to society here with your stated attitude towards breaking laws of "I don't mind any more" and "I'm fed up."

What is it you don't like about Spain that you think you'll never encounter here? There are trade-offs in life in everything.
The bolded are so true, especially NOW.

Just stay over in your country. Or better yet, why don't you go to England?

Aren't you all part of the EU now? What makes you think you're life will be better here?

i'm disgusted of living here (25 years) because of mentalities and the european way of life ....i don't appreciate it. I spent 2 months in new york, 3 weeks in miami and i liked it so much.... i better try to find an other issue less suicidal
Thanks for replying
Many Americans feel the same way and have the same thoughts.

Learn to deal with your situation in your own country or move to one of the others in your union. Don't come here. We have enough immigrants. Really. We do.

Diversity is one thing, but not when every other person you meet has an accent from somewhere else.
