Technically, they’re not here criminally - they were brought here as minors.

Think of it like this
Dad has a Meth lab in the basement...
Junior was just 6 when Dad started the lab
Junior is now 18 and takes over th lab making Meth himself
The police turn up at the door
Mom says “Oh but Junior was only 6 when my husband started making Meth...
The police say “Oh well thats different. It wasnt his fault. In that case Jubior can keep on making Meth, and BTW heres a free college education”
Yeah its kinda like that...
I’m all for deporting the families or stopping them at the border. If the parents are illegal and the children were born here and are citizens, the law still requires the parents to start the process from the other side of the border. Kids belong with their parents until they are grown.
The practice is that if illegal aliens come forward for help, they are not arrested or deported. ICE has refused to follow through on deporting convicted criminals, and dump them here in Texas after bringing them here to their 11 Texas-based ICE detention centers.
The above is where we need to work on changing laws and court rulings. Cut the problem before it begins.
However, if the law will not send them home, if they graduate from our schools and live here 3 years, and get admitted to college, I support allowing them to pay for in-State tuition as long as they are in college.
The requirements for residency are much easier for US citizens, btw.
I’m all for deporting the families or stopping them at the border. Does Tennessee do this, or does its State Law enforcement turn a blind eye?

Tennessee doesn’t have any of these detention facilities. Why not handle your own problems? http://www.ice.gov/detention-facilities/
