One of the more common leftist-fanatic lies is that "The US Govt is breaking up families by deporting illegals with US-born kids".What I don't understand is the concern for separating families, we do it to criminals all the time, what makes these people so special?
But the fact is, the illegal aliens knew they were breaking the law and could be deported any time, when they first came here, BEFORE they had kids. And they decided to produce kids and bring them into that situation anyway. THEY are the ones putting their kids at risk of seeing their parents deported, not the government.
As you pointed out, some guy with children, who robs a bank or knifes someone, is putting his kids at risk of seeing their father go away (to jail) for a long time, maybe even for life. The government isn't the one breaking up that family, the guy is breaking up his own family.
Ditto for the illegal aliens who break the law to come or stay here, and then produce kids. What are the parents' plans, to do with their kids if/when they get caught and deported? They are the parents, the government isn't. And it's up to the parents to make those plans, since they are doing things they know will get them deported if caught.
It's not the government's fault the illegal alien's family is getting broken up, any more than it's the govt's fault the bank robber's family is suffering. The bank robber got them into that trouble... and so did the illegal alien.
