Perry goes even further than that, Marlowe. He says that those students must also have ALREADY applied for US citizenship.

So, we have a kid with no country, raised here, graduated here, a done well in school here, AND trying their hardest to get the citizenship thing worked out.

And we’re going to tell them to take a hike. That is heartless.

Are we a nation of laws or men’s hearts?

Simple question with a simple answer.

The citizens of the U.S. are not responsible for the mistakes of the parents who brought children here illegally. They have a country of origin and that is where they are citizens. These children can take their hard work and education they received here (illegally) and go back to their native country and apply themselves there and help their fellow countrymen. They are being selfish by remaining in this country illegally and not helping their unfortunate fellow citizens in their native land.
The U.S. is under extreme social and economic stress and we are doing the best we can.
