In my opinion, all illegals need to be deported. Then they can go through the process of entering this country legally.
I don't can't about the hardship on their relatives. If they had come here legally to begin with, there would be no hardship.
Agreed. Your earlier post just made me wonder how illegals would ever be granted legal status. The only way I know of so far is the apparently risky green card option, which should be done away with completely.
