And, I still can't fathom people so heartless that they would deport young people who have lived here all their life, brought here not of their own volition and being sent to a place where they have never lived and may not have anyone they even know living there. How cruel is that?
Really? So what of the American kids? Do they get shoved to the back of the line, then? American kids don't have to bear the burden of being the offspring of illegal immigrants. Yes, these Hispanic kids have lived here all of their lives, but the only way to teach them anything is to send them back home with their parents. Actions have consequences, breaking laws have consequences. Their parents knew they were breaking the law, they never once thought it would destroy the future of their child(ren).
I feel sorry for them, I really do. No, they shouldn't be punished for the actions of their parents. But knowing kids, they probably grew up watching their parents violate the sovereignty of another nation by breaking its laws , mainly the immigration ones. The only way you teach them a healthy respect for the law is to send them back where they came from. Hey, it isn't their fault, it's their parents'.
