in the U.S.) whose illegal immigrant mother had been deported. This
is exactly why only the children of LEGAL immigrants/visitors/etc.
should be given the status as U.S. citizens. Why should anyone
dropped here illegally be considered a valid citizen just because
their parents cheated and thumbed their noses at the law? What point
is there in honoring illegal behavior with the prize of citizenship
for your offspring? I truly feel sorry for this girl, but quite
frankly why did she not return home to her mother's country of origin
with her? She is a minor after all.
We do welcome the huddled masses yearning to breathe free...so long as
they enter legally. What's so hard to understand about following the
rules. And more to the point: Why should I feel guilty about sad
situations people bring upon themselves and their children? Do the
right thing and this won't happen.
