Some parents are reluctant to drop their children off at school for fear of getting stopped, said Daniels, who is an immigration attorney. Instead, the children are missing classes.
“It’s really bad,” Daniels said. “They don’t just stop the person they’re looking for. They hassle everyone who’s around.”
My biggest issue with how illegal immigration is treated in this country is how we treat those who have already been here for more than a year. Once someone is settled in a place, it really is inhumane to deport them. you are ruining many lives, and that has a ripple effect in making this world a worse place. worse because: more poverty, more crime, less education, on and on.
I don’t know, but somehow it doesn’t make sense to me to write the our immigration laws saying “If you illegally sneak into our country and remain here illegally and manage to evade deportation long enough, Congratulations! You win! You can stay!” Sorry, but that is not how this works unfortunately. Besides doesn’t doing that encourage others to attempt to try to come into the country illegally? Also exactly how do we determine who is and is not “settled”? I don’t know what should be done with such people, but I am pretty sure the solution isn’t to just ignore the law and ignore the fact that they illegally came into to the country and are still here illegally and ignore that they have neither citizenship or visa.
