Nothing wrong with saying Americans are humane people.

We are.

When America finally realize that we are not permitted by law to get rid of anchor babies, who are legitimate American citizens, then they’ll realize that we’re not getting rid of their parents, and by extension, their grandparents.

You might send the grandparents home, but they can come indefinitely on visitor visas.

American citizen children can live overseas with their deported parents. Happens all the time, though not often enough.

No one can legally stay indefintely on a visitors visa. (Unless of course some aging doper like Obama lets them.)

That is fair (your idea). Most nations would do that.

We Americans are not mean, but we are fair. At the utmost, WE MUST BE FAIR TO LEGAL IMMIGRANTS, many of whom went through HELL to get to the USA, while others get to just skate, and now a man who would be President puts his imprimatur on such a nonsensical, unworkable and UNJUST idea. Pathetic. Truly absolutely pathetic. One of the low points of Campaign 2012.

Sorry, but the ersatz kritocrats have not rewritten the Constitution here, yet. The Supreme Court case, United States v. Wong Kim Ark, is about the children of legal immigrants. Congress can strip citizenship from each one of the criminal beneficiaries.
