I don't really understand this argument. Let's try a different situation entirely where the parents are living criminals instead of dead ones.
Let's say the parents ran a clinic that defrauded the taxpayers out of millions of dollars per year in phony billing invoices. The daughter grows up in a life of luxury, is enrolled in the Sidwell Friends school and has every advantage one could wish for.
Suddenly her parents are arrested, thrown in jail, their assets siezed. Now penniless, she is thrown out of her fancy school and forced to live in a run-down part of town with relatives. Is that girl not now paying for the sins of the parents? Do you think we should pay to keep her in Sidwell Friends because, after all, she is just an innocent victim?
You don’t understand the argument, and then attempt a complete apples to oranges non sequitor as an equivalency to prove a point that isn’t valid in the least? Tells me all I need to know.
No sane reasonable human being is or should be screaming throw this girl to the wolves. The lack of your simple understanding of “The Golden Rule” speaks far more loudly of the “point” you are trying to make than the convoluted nonsense in your silly equivalency.
Attempting to argue living in a lower end part of town with family in the same country, as deporting to a country she’s never known as an orphan with no family.. yes, those two are completely equivalent (rolling eyes).
What justice do you argue is served if this girl is deported? Do you think it would remotely deter someone else given the circumstances of this situation? Do you honestly think mexicans by the old toyota truck full will spill over the border with their children and commit suicide so their children can live here, because if this one girl in this one off situation doesn’t wind up deported? Do you think justice is served? Do you think the United States is a better nation if they were to deport this Girl? Do you think this Girl would be better off? Do you think Society would be better off?
There is nothing served by even threatening this girl with deportation, and honestly, the likelihood of it happening is next to nil, thanks to a judicial process that has far mroe common sense and than certain folks are espousing on this thread.
I’m all for enforcing US Immigration laws, and frankly believe this nation needs to repeal the LBJ liberalization of immigration immediately and return to the laws we had prior. However, with that said, deporting orphans to places they left before they could talk, with no family or anything there for them, is not remotely justice, its vengence... and last I checked Vengence was not the tenant of our legal process or systems.
