a couple I know both grew up in Mexico before becoming citizens. When their two children were about 14 and 15 they all went back to their home village to meet their family. The two teeagers were stunned, no mall, no cell coverage, no tv, no xbox...nothing.

Usually, neither parents nor child are deported.

For a few hundred years people have been leaving their homelands to live here in America. They left family in the old country, and when they could afford it, they applied legally to bring the rest of their family here. Sometimes it took a few years, but they brought their families LEGALLY here.
Bow illegal aliens come here, bear their offspring and when the parents are sent back to their home
land, and it might cause their adult offspring morose? They can take the whole family, if they want. Should offspring want their parents back here, they can apply to bring their parents back here legally. I don’t see the big deal, my ancestors did it legally, These illegals are no more special than many of our ancesorts were...they can obey the law, or stay in their homeland.

So, the kids can come back when they are 18.

It isn’t permanent exile.

>>Jason wrote a letter to the immigration judge, explaining that the three days his father was detained in 2011 “were the worst days of my life” and asking not to be separated from him again.<<

This isn’t unique to illegals. I am sure any kid doesn’t like it when Daddy ends up in the slammer for breaking a law (in this case he may have killed people had he not been apprehended).

I agree not to separate the family — take the kids with you when you are sent home, Daddy.

The granting of citizenship to the children of foreign citizens is against the laws of the US and most foreign countries.

It is merely a stupid and pernicious custom that has somnehow sprung up in the US and could be quite easily stopped. Whether foreigners are "visiting" the US legally, or illegally, children who are brought to term while their foreign parents are here are simply not citizens of the US. They are citizens of their parents' country. If the parents somehow become legally naturalized American citizens, those children born here while they were not, may also be naturalized.

The cowardly Federal Courts are allowing the custom of de facto citizenship for the children of foreign nationals, instead of treating it as a matter of law.

May be parents should consider that before they uproot their family and take them illegally into a foreign country.

It’s just a matter of luck that this ass-hat didn’t throw lots of other lives into turmoil by killing them while driving drunk. How many other lives have been thrown into turmoil due to crimes committed by illegal aliens?

He should have been on a plane back to Guatemala hours after his conviction.

Yes, sir!

How many times do we hear the sob stories of bank robbers an murderer's children and the "hardships" they face?

Here's a clue.

Don't break the law!

Then your precious, innocent children don't have to deal with the problems that YOU created!

Here's a thought, your children can go back to Mexico WITH you.

Problem solved.

And let me hear the wailing of Mexican politicians who have to deal with the crap-storm THEY created.

I have no sympathy either. I expect the electric chair and deportation is useless as they slip into the country eventually.

Should have thought about that before crossing the border.

Vacation is over. They need to go home, and take there children. We have all had guests who stayed to late. They leave, and they have to take the kids home.

I do not recall the Compost having a problem with the Armed seizure of Elian Gonzales and his forced return to Cuba.

The children born to foreign diplomats in the US aren’t automatically citizens. And they aren’t breaking any laws when they come here. (other being parking ticket scofflaws) why are children whose parents broke the law automatically citizens?
