If you wait until after you turn 19, Bolivia can be working on their third or fourth President after Evo and you still won't be able to return. The situation you are concerned about will be resolved FAR sooner than the statutory bars on re-entry you will get slapped with if you overstay much past your 18th birthday.

No, I'm suggesting that you leave the US before you turn 18 - where you go after that is really irrelevant from a US immigration standpoint. And I expect this kerfuffle to be resolved long before Morales is replaced.

You could gather information to show that you have been here over 10-years, not commit any crimes, pay your income taxes via a taxpayer I.D, and not make a false claim to US citizenship. If arrested, you could ask for cancellation of removal based on being here over 10 years. Turn yourself in to ICE, then ask the IJ to allow you to adjust to LPR. Talk with a good immigration attorney first.
BTW... There is no such thing as a 10 year tourist visa

Yes there is. Most B visas are issued for 10 years, although each entry on the visa can only be for a maximum of 6 months.
Cancellation of Removal, if I understand correctly, is not the same as being granted Permanent Resident status.

as i understand you should have a relief from cancellation of removal. ie some one to sponsor you for gc.

skhad01, my understanding is that if you entered the US legally, nad if you have relief (eg marriage, USC close relative) then you can become legal. consult a good lawyer before any action... some do have free 1hr consultations.
