If you don’t want your kids to suffer, don’t be an illegal alien.
Maybe parents should consider the consequences before they break into another country.
Enforce the laws.
No other law breaker gets a pass because of the effect on their children.
Keep the family together, remove them all.
OH PLEASE...send them ALL back. We love them. They have grand fathers, uncles, cousins and aunts. NOTHING on Earth like the Gran Familia Mexicana. Really..I live in Mexico. We welcome DREAMERS with their skills, their no how they could bake a LOT Of money..and live wealthy. Lots of families have been torn apart. Come on back to home..all of you. Mexico has changed, and isn’t like it was when you left. Honest.
How about children are put in jeopardy when their parent(s) decide to sneak across the border illegally.
(I think she finished at Loyola. also in LA)
My mental health is affected because they are destroying my country.
‘cept Elian.
The Poster Child for Bliss Ninny white women who blubber about the Plight of the Undocumented while ignoring the society around them turning into Mexico
Hey Beth, when do you move to Caborca? How do you feel about living in a country where Los Zetas will kidnap you and use you for a mattress since you’re a Blondina Gringa?
This “problem” is a creation of the parents.
It is NOT for the U.S. gov’t to solve.
The Constitution does not provide a gov’t solution for every heart tugging problem in life.
OK by me - they belong with their parents in their real homeland. And don't worry, we won't bill you for your free education and all the welfare benefits your parents collected for you.
Decent parents would spare their children the trauma of deportation. Move home before ICE shows up!
The children of unemployed U. S. Citizens suffer, when their parents can’t find work, or have their wages forced down by foreign nationals willing to live three families to a single family dwelling competing with them.
Send those here illegally home!
I’m so tired of this sob story crap. Children suffer too when a parent is put in jail for a crime so why is deporting a criminal any different.
Illegal children’s rights, illegal parents rights, where the hell are my rights as a true American citizen? These mentally ill social workers professors of social justice and liberal progressive politicians are killing this country bit by bit
Children always suffer for the actions of their parents.
Whether it be a parent being sent to jail for a criminal conviction or a tenant parent being evicted from an apartment, the law makes the children also suffer. That has always been and will continue to be, until/unless socialists have their way and confiscate children at birth to be raises by the state.
Why should the children of illegal aliens be treated as privileged and not suffer for the actions of their parents.
That makes sense to me. The children are hurt either way. So better to send them along with the parents.
Children always suffer from the bad decisions of parents. This is not new or unique to illegal immigrant.
