What a tear jerker story! The daughter is an American citizen only because we haven't modernized our antiquated anchor baby laws.
Plus they've crashed the line of people waiting to get in here legally.
Still, if he's earning an honest living and not living off our taxpayers, I'd be inclined to let him stay if he'd learn English, get legalized and not view his American neighbors as cows to be milked or dogs to be kicked out of the way. But I still have to wonder what the attraction is in staying here if he just wants to turn us into another Mexico.
Frightened of what? Being exiled to an island prison? He's frightened of being returned to the homeland country, as you say, the country that he wants to convert this nation into. Language, culture and all.
Actually, if he’s never been so frightened in his life, why is he here? I doubt that he is the least bit frightened. A little concerned, perhaps that he’ll be deported and have to go to the trouble of illegally crossing again? But frightened? Give me a break.
And no, I’m not inclined to let any of them stay. It may be that we can’t possibly ferret out all of them and send them back, but I do not want to reward anyone for breaking the law. What you reward, you get more of. It works in dog training, and it works in everything else.
