I would need to know more about your situation. How old are you children? How did you enter the US? How old are you. The new Deferred Action may apply to you, if you still under 30 and obtain your GED.

You cannot get a work permit if you are not a beneficiary of a work or a family-based petition. If you are under the age of 30, the new policy announced by Pres. Obama may help you get a temporary work permit, assuming you can prove the few elements that are required by that.
