So the friend really is you. As with so many others who are in an illegal status, you're spending a lot of time and energy trying to convince everyone on VJ why your activities should be forgiven. But we are not the ones you have to convince. US immigrations is who you have to convince and as you have been told countless times, the fact that you claimed to be a US citizen numerous times since the age of 18, you now face a lifetime ban. Sorry if that is not what you want to hear, but that is a fact and you can't change it. At this point you have two choices. Return to your home country and try to make a life there or continue to live here illegally an hope you don't get caught. Personally I hope you return to your home. People doing things like what you are doing are what makes it so much harder for the rest of us who follow the rules and do things legally.
