Even when that’s the case, it’s not the kids’ fault and it’s shitty to take their parents away if the parents did nothing illegal beyond coming to this country.
I agree, it is not kids fault and it is shitty. But when it is the case(that people here illegally have kids for the purpose of avoiding deportation) should we just let people get away with it? Perhaps a hefty fine? I don’t know.
I am not saying I want people deported, I just think the things I mentioned shouldn’t forgotten/glossed over and I think too much of the time, that is exactly what we do. It pisses off the more conservative minded and perhaps plays a part in them not wanting to be all that merciful.
