When a parent who is a citizen gets arrested and goes to jail, and there is nowhere else for the child, what do they do? CPS.

If it's good enough for criminal citizens, it's good enough for criminal invaders.

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

"Baaaad ol' Puddy Tat."

[Froufrou]

"Come here legally and you wont be putting your children through this. Enough with the anchor babies. Time to change that ridiculous law."

YES! Misinterpretation of the 14th Amendment won't be solved with any amnesty or shamnesty program.

We need to nip this nightmare thing in the bud!

[Doogle]

..they certainly don't have any worries about exposing their children to crossing a desert, or piling into the back of a non-airconditioned windowless truck do they?

[Vn_survivor_67-68]

The IRS should be made to audit the W4's and any 1040's of every single illegal they can identify.....and make certain that every penny they owe is paid!

[NRA1995]

"Their parents may be here illegally, but those children are American citizens"

Call me mean-spirited, but given the way we're being taken advantage of, that is the FIRST thing that needs to change! Beyond that, they can all cry me a river.

[Oldexpat]

You are right..zero tolerance and the rest will get the message.
Now we need to prosecute those who hire illegals with equal force. Work on supply and demand.
Get those meat packing jobs back up to $17 per hour..or whatever it takes. We will just pay more for beef, pork and chicken. Or eat less(we are mostly overweight).

"If the (immigration) agents had been planning this raid for a long time, why couldn't they wait a little longer, like January," he added. "They spoiled our Day of the Virgin of Guadalupe and our Christmas."

ROFLOL

[EagleUSA]

Perhaps this is one of the things they should have thought about when they decided to sneak into this country illegally.

Exactly. Let us hope this is not just a token gesture on the part of our government. They have a long way to go to fix the problem THEY CREATED.

[Unmarked Package]

Do we have independent verification that those arrested in the raid were (or will be) actually deported? Because ICE is involved, I suspect the illegal aliens arrested will be back with their families on this side of the border by the end of this weekend.

What to do...What to do...(Apply common sense)

1. Check all children for American born citizenship

2. Check the children for non American born Citizenship.

3. Send all children with American citizenship to live with legal citizen relatives

4. Give other qualified American citizen children a chance to stay (ie: make arrangement through various agencies to house the LEGAL ones) and

5. Deport all other children who do not have citizenship with their parents

There...... I think that pretty much covers it.

[MarkeyD]

Here's what should be done. Say we are deporting them to fight global warming. With the estimated 11 - 20M illegals in this country, that is that many more people that need to use the energy infrastructure (electrical, roads, natural gas, etc). With those people back in Mexico there will be that much less CO2 being generated.

[org.whodat]

We will just pay more for beef, pork and chicken. Or eat less(we are mostly overweight).

Beef sells higher than ever, but the packing houses are making more money, just passing heath care on to tax payer and putting labor savings in their pockets. Asset forfeiture will stop this...

[massgopguy]

Dear Mexicans, your children will be going with you. There is no law requiring Anchor Babies to be kept in the United States. They are not government property. They are your children. Via Con Dios.

[cowboyway]

b) Here comes the Dem talking points on "those horrible republicans who want to split up families."

Yes, the dems will be 'troubled' by this horrible display by the cold hearted Republicans.

Buuuttt, if these children were in a compound, let's say, somewhere around Waco................

[VeniVidiVici]

"Their parents may be here illegally, but those children are American citizens," said Eric Perez, a Dumas resident who owns El Jacalito, a combination of a convenience store and a Mexican fast food restaurant.

Well, gee, that's just too bad.

I hope the other Mexican kids aren't too tough on them when they move back to Mexico. You know, them being Americans and all.

[Last Laugh]

They spoiled our Day of the Virgin of Guadalupe and our Christmas."

Oh yeah? Well illegals have spoiled my tax rates, my hospitals, hundreds of neighborhoods, my culture...

[darkwing104]

I guess the term lawbreakers means nothing to the press.

Unless it is a Republican.

[DCPatriot]

The reason they stopped smoking pot?

Because everyone knows that once you have kids, sex is over?

[Youngman442002]

Its a Mexican Holiday...so what the Hell are you doing here in the US...we don't care about you Mexican Holidays....man are they stupid
