I do have some sympathy for people in his situation. When you are a child you do what your parents tell you to do, legal or not. You grow up as an American, and deportation to some country you never knew would be absolutely terrifying.
I feel for the kids too. But one needs to step back and look at the big picture. Grant these kids amnesty and every illegal immigrant parent will come to America with their young children in tow knowing that eventually their kids will get amnesty. For the children is noble, but it can blind you from making the right decision.

In asking do you not think When you are a child you do what your parents tell you to do, legal or not. There is a reason why they are the parents and they are the kids. My Dads job required him to move, ever so often, I can use the same logic I had to do what my parents told me until age 18. I can also say, how unfair it is, my parents are not rich and I stuck living with middle class parents, I had to do what they said. If their parents using criminals acts, such as the parents pay the Mexican drug cartels smuggling of their kids to sneak across the border undetected.Is this not it’s self not a crime of child endangerment ? The kids had no say, but their parents did had a say and they decided to disregard the laws and bring their kids here anyway and they knew in advance what their kids would encounter later in life. Shouldn’t it be a crime to hire drug cartels to smuggle kids across the border ? It’s an handy excuse to say I had no say, I also had no say until 18. This is like saying any kids from any part of the world who can make it here,they will need to only say, I had no choice and they are free to stay forever.Whatever problems these kids have were created by their parents. It is their responsibility to fix their kids problems. We did not create the problems, the parents did.And their parents always get a free pass and are never held accountable for the position they put their kids in today. It’s up to the family to solve their personal family problems. We fulfiled our obligations by giving 12 years of free schools, untold millions of free school lunches, etc,etc,etc.Don’t you think it is very odd, how untold millions of children here illegally, always maintain, never knew I was illegal until I wanted a drivers license or college grant ? Their parents teach them how act and what to say, if any encounter with law enforcement arises, to suddenly indicate, oh i just found out after 18 years, i was here illegally ? Do you think it’s fair now thes ekids all grown up are using fake or stolen documents or will the kids, we had no choice and all shall be forgiven due the I had no choice ?
Actually, you grow up as an illegal alien in the United States because illegal aliens aren't American citizens. And these illegal aliens have family members (siblings, parents, grandparents, cousins, uncles, aunts) back in their home country so it shouldn't be that terrifying for the illegal alien to have to go back there.
