Maybe they shouldn’t be deported (I think they should be), but they should not be rewarded with citizenship. Maybe a green card status, but no citizenship.
So, if my father stole a diamond, I should get to keep it?
The if my father stole a diamond is not even close to being the same. The person who was brought here as a child and is now a productive person is not keeping anything that was stolen. As a matter of fact they are paying taxes and contributing to society.
Not everything is black and white. Why would someone want to deport a productive, law abiding person? How is a person in this situation harming anyone? As a matter of fact the person I specifically mentioned was a nurse which we happen to need right now.
Of course I am all about protecting our borders, but let’s not throw out the baby with the bath water. Fact is we do need some immigration and people already living here who are proven to be an asset are the kind of immigrants that we should want.
