But, in two years time, they can have created a home, had a child that is now an American citizen. Wonder how you solve the problem of sending them back to no home, no job without the same guilt/hardship problem we have with the illegals here for years?
American Missionaries and foreign workers do this all the time. When they go to another country to work they realize that they are a guest and will be returning home. We have Canadians working here that handle this just fine.
"But, in two years time, they can have created a home, had a child that is now an American citizen."
The law used to be that a child born in the US did not become a 'citizen' until that child became 21. He could be returned to his home country and could not apply for citizenship until 21. Of course, at 21, that child was no longer a child and could not bring his family into the country if his citizenship was granted. The child, upon turning 21, was almost guaranteed citizenship and went to the head of the line for admittance. Why not return to the old law?
