I am not sure how a child consented to a illegal family arrangement."
I'm not sure how an Ethiopian child consented to be in that country. I have a nephew in a broken family - divorce, and some in-laws with illegitimate children. That's life.
We are under no requirement to be held hostage to the actions of parents who break the laws, that would only encourage further creation of such problems. It's not 'compassion' to encourage more and more illegal behavior by giving in to it. It's like those parents who can never say 'no' to their own children. They end up with the most ill-behaved, spoiled, and *unhappy* children.
"They are citizens of this country" ... an illegal alien came to the US and decided to have an 'anchor baby'. Blame the parent.
"They are citizens of this country and so far it seems no one gives a big damn if they are put into foster care or sent into poverty into Mexico if they have to go with their parents."
SO basically every illegal alien who manages to have a kid here gets a 'get out of jail free' card, is that it?
And you dont see how this isnt simply inviting more illegal aliens having kids.
"It is beyond me this deport all policy with no exceptions."
It's beyond me with the pro-amnesty crowd speaks about this like this is all-or-nothing.
If people want to get rid of birthright citizenship for future children that is fine. That could be a possible solution. At this point I am trying to figure out what to do with the people we have here now and to do it where the result is Just and Christ like.
I would have to think a guestworker program, some pathway to citizenship(at this time I am hearing it would take 12 years or more or thats whats being proposed) is one side. Deportation of the criminals that are here and those that commit serious crimes in the future, real border security, and real employee sanctions is the other side of the coin. If both are done the illegal immigration problem should be brought under control. THe key here is that any law does not do unneeded violence to the human person or family.
