That's debateable, since the child ended up with her American mother on this side of the border. After Defacto deportation.
It sounds like the girl was deported because everything happened so suddenly, and the law on this is in flux.
Overlooks the point that had BOTH parents been aliens, Child would have been absolutely deported and likely prevented from returning prior to age of maturity. Misinterpreting the 14th amendment sure does cause a bunch of nonsense, doesn't it?
In any case, in the 1960s you probably wouldn't have seen a US WWII veteran's grandchild deported because his daughter had once been married to an African who overstayed his visa.
Again, misses the point. If the Husband got deported, and the wife went with him, the entire family was defacto deported. Happened to Lolo Soetoro.
You are incorrect regarding the ‘child would have been absolutely deported’ if both parents are illegal aliens. I am not an immigration attorney, but I have prepared, filed documents and represented dozens of natural born citizen children in guardianship/conservatorship proceedings in state court to allow them to stay in the U.S. with 3rd parties (usually family or friends) when their illegal alien parents are being deported. This is very common for children over ten years of age. I have also prepared the documents which allow children who left with their parents when young and wish to return to and live and attend school in the U.S. Similar to Obama’s situation. Although I have never looked into it, I would guess that his GP’s needed some sort of guardianship document to register him in school or to authorize medical treatment while he was a minor living with them.
Another issue with your post is that there is legally no such thing as a ‘de facto deportation.’ Do you have a statutory or case law citation to back you up for your statement?
