Send them back to the countries they belong to so that they can share with the people there what they have gained and learned here. Then their own countries will begin to prosper. Everyone wins.
BUT they will NEVER be able to vote if they’re here 100 years. That’s their punishment for themselves and their heirs also.
I’m for illegals having to leave immediately but - like it or not we allowed these kids to grow up here. Most of them would not be able to function if forced to go back to mexico or Guatemala. I have lived down there and I can tell you it would be really cruel.
So flame away but I think they should be allowed to stay. Not given citizenship - just permanent residence. Unless they marry or serve in the military.
Also - if they have a felony criminal record - send them back.

Al Gore: Extremely Interesting.
The country they love is Mexico.
The truth is that not all of them were brought here at an early age, some of them are adults that have only been here for a few years.
If my dad was a bank robber, drug dealer, mobster, pimp, loan shark, and kidnapper. Do I get to keep the money???
From August 17, 2015:
“Bolded in his newly released plan on how Donald Trump would solve our country’s immigration problems if he becomes president is a suggestion to triple the number of law-enforcement agents working to guard the border.
“That and other measures Trump proposes — including deporting immigrants convicted of a crime and detaining and deporting immigrants caught crossing the border illegally — would amount to a significant increase in deportation. An estimated 11 million immigrants are in the country illegally.
“Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump released a detailed immigration plan, and its “great, great wall” is just the beginning. (Gillian Brockell/The Washington Post)
“And during an appearance Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” Trump seemed to suggest he would kick out most immigrants who are in the country illegally. Here’s a transcript (The Fix boss annotated it, too!):
TRUMP: The executive order gets rescinded. One good thing about —
TODD: You’ll rescind that one, too? You’ll rescind the Dream Act executive order, the DACA?
TRUMP: We have to make a whole new set of standards. And when people come in, they have to come in —
TODD: You’re going to split up families. You’re going to deport children?
TRUMP: Chuck — no, no. No, we’re going to keep the families together. We have to keep the families together.
TODD: But you’re going to kick them out?
TRUMP: They have to go.
TODD: What if they have no place to go?
TRUMP: We will work with them. They have to go. Chuck, we either have a country or we don’t have a country. Either we have a country or not.”
As Trump said, “they have to go.”
Trump’s comments are troubling, but if this is what he has to give on to get the rest of his immigration policy through, then I suppose so be it.
I just hope their “working something out” at least includes no pathway to citizenship and immediate deportation of any criminals, even if they came here at 2.
Linda ought to ponder that if you can issue a joint statement with Turban, you need serious self reflection.
Trump seems to be evolving into alignment with the Gang of Eight plan.
Not good.
The even bigger issue is the ones that were born here illegally.
Any deal on the Dreamers needs to end birthright citizenship.
Grahamnesty wants amnesty for all, give them an inch and they will take a mile.
Using the kids to soften us up to amnesty the parents, grandparents, uncles, aunts, cousins, nieces, nephews, etc, etc, etc.
