If you're illegal, why are you still here? You should have been deported. Just know that if you leave, you might not be able to cone back for a while and rightfully so.
2 :
Yes you could
3 :
Of course you can ..I dont know the work situation there but it can be no worse than the US There are some very excellent Unis in Mexico In the US deportation is the only thing to look forward too

You are a Mexican citizen. Given that your grades will qualify you for college, I don't see why not. The only problem I can foresee is that in order to be admitted to a college in Mexico you would have to present a copy of your high school transcripts and since those would be from the states, you may not be given the same status as a student who has lived and studied in Mexico, in other words, others may have admission priority over you. If you have a college in mind, I would contact them. As far as getting a good job, don't really know what your major would be and what the job market is like in Mexico, or will be like in four years, for your field of education. But if this is your goal then do what you think is best for you; do what you want to do. You are still very young and have plenty of time to chance course if something doesn't initially work out.

Yes, why wouldn't you? You have received a U.S education, you could go to college anywhere btw...even in the U.S but everything will be at your own cost. I'll admit to you I'm planning on moving there too. Good luck.

I was in a similar condition. I graduated from middle and high school in the US and even got accepted to the University of Florida engineering school, but then my visa expired and was not renewed. I got deported and I was able to get into college back in my homecountry after translating and authenticating my paperwork in the ministry of education. You country probably has a similar sistem for authenticating school transcripts.

That would be an excellent idea. If you leave the US before you are 18.5 years old your illegal stay won't be held against you. The government does recognize that as a minor you have to go where your parents go. You only become responsible for staying on illegally in the US when you turn 18. As I guess you know by now.

yes you could and actually I think you should... as an illegal there are no good options for you here... only picking up crops of washing dishes in a restaurant.. if you have goals in life pursue your dreams, since the dream act hasn't been passed here, you cannot become a resident here, which means even if you go to college you will no be able to get a job here, so just try your luck in your home country.

How many times are you going to ask this? Get out of this country, you are not welcome here.

I see you have asked this question before. Your High school transcript of all your studies will be in English. Hope that Mexico colleges can interpret it otherwise you will have difficulty. Good that you will be going home to Mexico. Even if you got into a college in the US, you can't be hired for a job when you graduate college in the US because they don't hire illegals. They do hire LEGAL immigrants only in the US for the GOOD jobs. If you insist on coming back to the US once you leave, please get your proper MEXICAN birth certificate, passport and ID, then apply for a visa to enter the US or else your life will be a struggle and you will always be looking over your shoulder at deportation.
11 :
yes and college is free there
12 :
Yes, as long as you leave before you turn 18 years and 6 months old.

You wouldn't be able to get a job in the US without a Social Security number. Unless you want to say, "Welcome to .... how can I help you." So you may as well go back to school in Mexico. If you stay in the US after 18 1/2, you will need a waiver to be able to re-enter the U.S. again in the future. If you depart prior to this date, you will no longer be subject to the bar of inadmissibility for acquiring unlawful presence in the U.S.

Diane-you have posted on here many times .And I have to say I wish someone like you could stay and get a higher education here in the states as it seems like you are a very upstanding person.But your parents did this horrible thing to you by bringing you here illegally.They are the blame for your problem not us Americans.and I sincerely hope that you can go back to Mexico get a great education and apply to come back here the legal way.And this is coming from someone that dislikes any illegal immigrant being here in this country.I would welcome you and would probably give you a job in our business as a legal immigrant.I feel bad for you but Im sorry honey you are illegal right now.Go to Mexico get an good education and come back to America legally, we will welcome you.Good luck

Yes, you can go to college here. Check with a Mexican consulate there near you and see if they can help you get papers translated, etc. Go ahead and contact Universities here and find out what they want to see. Brush up on your Spanish. The job market isn't great here, and women here are often discriminated against socially, but college-educated women (and men) who speak Spanish and English are usually well paid, unlike the rest of the people here.
