“We”

Breaking the law vitiates (destroys or impairs the legal validity of) equitable defenses like hardship, detrimental reliance, laches, and so forth.

“I agree with you.. (I think they should be allowed to stay) but Mommy and Daddy gotta go.

So you want to break up families? That’s one of the arguments illegals and their lawyers will use if we start making exceptions to Trump’s stated policy of eventually deporting all “undocumented immigrants”.

See how sticky it gets when you start making exceptions?
Now, the cowbird chicks, dropped here by Mexican/central American mothers who managed to waddle across our border, those kids can make a legal argument that they cannot be deported. Because they’re Americans. Right?

So the illegals say, if those born here of illegal parents will stay, why can’t I?
And their parents will say, if my kid can stay, why can’t I?

Would you use an age limit? Those who came at 18 will say, why can a 17 year old stay but not me? Some of these “children” were shaving when they got here.
Take this to its logical extreme and you don’t have any illegals. All you have are exceptions.

They came into our country illegally as a family, now they can go home as a family. The minor `anchors’ can go home with their parents or they can be placed in foster care. We’re paying for many of them as it is.

As Trump said, we’re either a nation—and a nation of laws—or we aren’t.
We have stood by seething as our government, particularly under Obama but Bush and Clinton as well, refused to fulfill their oaths to faithfully enforce the law
This is why Trump won. Because he promised to secure our border and deport illegal aliens.

If you think exceptions should be made to the law, so as to gut the law, then you agree with nevertrumpers Graham and Durbin and the `rats, and Obama for that matter: we can pick and choose the laws we want to obey.

The American people were presented with both sides and made their choices. We won.
