What should happen to kids of illegal aliens being deported?

[Jackson]

It's a pretty common scenario today. Illegal alien parents who produced kids in the U.S., get busted and deported. What happens to their U.S. citizen kids? Especially young kids, barely past toddler stage?

An adult man crosses the border illegally, and lives here. He marries someone, say another illegal alien. They have kids here. The kids are U.S. citizens under the current interpretation of the 14th amendment, since they were born on U.S. soil.

Then the man (and maybe his wife) get busted by ICE, proven to be illegal aliens (which they in fact are), and get listed for deportation.

What happens to the kids?

The kids are U.S. citizens, no doubt about it. ICE has no grounds whatever for deporting them. But the parents are unquestionably illegal aliens, and the law is clear, the parents must be deported. Must the family be broken up? Who says so?

I've hear some people protest that it's inhuman for ICE to separate the kids (who are, say, 3 and 4 years old by now) from their parents. But is it ICE who is actually doing that?

This man knew before he ever came here, that he was breaking U.S. law, and was subject to deportation if caught. And his wife, if she is also an illegal alien, knew the same about herself. And when they were making kids here on U.S. soil and delivering them, they knew the same was still true.

It's not ICE who is planning to split up this family. It is the man and his wife, knowing that he and she might be booted out at any time for breaking U.S. immigration law, and that any kids they produced while living illegally in America, would be citizens NOT subject to deporation. They knew all these things going in. And one must assume they planned for them. (If they didn't plan, whose fault is that?)

So, what did this man and his wife plan would happen to their U.S. kids if and when they (the parents) got busted and deported? What plans did they make about what should happen to their kids? The kids are 3 and 4 years old now. They are considered U.S. citizens and have the legal right to stay in this country. Of course, they can't stay alone in the house their parents were just deported out of, if there are no other responsible adults around - the kids are just 3 and 4 years old. Of course, the kids also have the legal right to go with their parents back to the parents' home country.

The parents knew going in, that their own deportation was possible and legal... and even just. WHAT DID THEY PLAN FOR THEIR KIDS if that were to happen to them?

Did they plan that those kids would come back to the parents' home country with them? Or did they plan that the kids would stay with other (legal) family, however distantly related, in the U.S.? Or...? What DID these parents plan, for the time when the parents got busted?

Where does anyone get the idea that the government is responsible for the kids?

The parents are responsible for their kids. What have they planned?

Take the children with them when they are deported. When the child grows up, he is welcomed back into the US.

Keep the families together send the children back with their parents.

Unlikely the courts would rule that way. They'll let the family stay.

There is no use in having any type of immigration reform if the laws to deport illegals will not be enforced. We may as well have open borders.

They will go as a family. Trump doesn't want to break up families

You can't deport an American citizen.

Thee would be taking their child willingly. Waiting until the child is old enough to come here legally, allows the parents to sign up and come over legally, too.

The child isn't leaving willingly because the parents are being forced to leave and they have to go with them.

Put them up for adoption.

Is that the conservative Christian thing to do?

Then let them go back with their parents, and come back when they are legal age.

The parents would be the ones deported. The children would simply be going along for the ride since the parents have legal custody. If the parents can find someone legally in the states to transfer legal custody of the children, the children could stay.

Can we tell you to leave the country for ten years and come back later?

So the choice is either the American citizen gets booted out of his own country to stay with his family or he gets left with someone else.

Why not just give them a fucking green card so they can stay and work. Wouldn't that be a hell of a lot simpler?

Go on nutbags. Make sure you write your Congresscritters every day with your desired policies.

Parental rights... A kid can' t make a legal decision.

Wait until they are legal age.

You do realize that we will have to hire more border guards and officers to do this?? That means more government and MORE tax dollars!!!! lol

The parents will choose to break up the family. Put the children in an orphanage.

It's a hell of a lot simpler if you want to give an incentive to millions to come here illegally and have anchor babies so they can stay. Sometimes you have to look at the big picture.

And who pays for that??

To be taken out of the foreign aid going to the countries sending illegals. Tax remittances. We will likely turn a profit.

And I'll ask you the same question. Is that the Christian thing to do? Advocate ripping children from their families and making them wards of the state while you people sit in church on Sundays thinking how righteous you are praying to your god?

What's your solution to illegal immigration? Open borders?

How much foreign aid is going to Latin America. Do you have numbers on this to determine this alleged profit?

Yep, and it's the same way when parents decide to move to another city or state. The kids have no choice whether they like it or not.
