Agree. It isn't LEGAL US citizens that asked these filthy, law breaking, tax sucking, disease ridden, lice infested illegals to come to the US and breed like bunnies. THEY did this to their children, not the US govt.
If they gave a rat's back side about their children they would have provided a better life for their children. The reality is, they wanted a better life for themselves. I don't really care what happens to their children. Makes no difference to me. If mommy and dadddy wouldn't have been lowly law breakers they wouldn't have this problem.
Considering Mexico boasts of having 25% of their ENTIRE population living in the US (that's 25,000,000 people, btw), I think 17,000 is a drop in the bucket.
