Unfortunately, the illegal alien child has to deal with the consquences of their parents actions just like US born children do.
I don't agree with imposing that consequence. Their parents are a priori scum. That's enough to deal with. If they have kept their nose clean and been productive despite that, those are people we want here. Producers.
it also comes down to personal responsibility. Punishing them for what their parents did without their knowledge or consent is collective punishment. If - and only if - they have proven themselves as indiviuals, then they should be rewarded with being allowed to keep their lives here.
