Why would anybody think this is any more valid an argument than could be made for any other criminal ?
Tell you what, kids;
If you wan't to be with your criminal parents...we'll help you immigrate to their home countries - to which they are being rightfully deported.Why would anybody think this is any more valid an argument than could be made for any other criminal ? It’s like saying, “You can’t send a father to jail for robbing a bank ! You’d be separating him from his family ! A child’s right to have their father present is more important than the right of the state to punish the crime of bank robbing !”
With no immigration overhaul in sight in Congress, immigration advocates have joined a South Florida activist's quixotic quest to persuade the U.S. Supreme Court to stop deporting the undocumented parents of American-born children.
Today, Nora Sandigo and a passel of kids -- including 8-year-old Saul Arellano, who has drawn international attention since his mother took refuge in a Chicago church last year to escape deportation -- will march on Washington. They will rally in front of Congress and the White House and stand on the steps of the Supreme Court in an effort to draw attention to the American children of illegal immigrants.
Sandigo, executive director of Sweetwater-based American Fraternity, has filed a class-action lawsuit on behalf of more than 600 children, arguing their right to have their parents with them outweighs the government's prerogative to deport those who violated U.S. immigration law.
Answer:
I don't think twice about deporting the parents. They should have never taken that chance to break our immigration law if it meant so much to them.
Don't forget to charge those parents with child endangerment.
If they are living with the possibility of their parents being deported isn't that endangerment.
Crime is crime -Laws are laws. We have A punishment for every crime. Why the parents would not take their kids back with them just baffles me. Sounds like endangerment to me as well.
I like insanes answer.
I also think you are right.
Where is the worry about our homegrown criminals children, of course we can't allow the Americans who are criminals to roam free just because they have children. In many cases people even argue that perhaps the child might be better off without the criminal parents influence.
Shouldn't the same standards apply? Wouldn't these children be better off being separated from parents who teach them to hate their birth country, hate anyone who is not of their race, and that it is OK to break the law if you don't agree with it?
It would seem to me that we really need to step up our efforts to protect these innocent children from the damaging influence of their parents.
We need to deport these child endangering, mentally damaging illegal criminals now, it is for the children.
so, we really should have a caste system in this country.
some American children should have more rights than other American children.
children are now to be held responsible for the mistakes of their parents.
