What about the teenagers who were taken here illegally as very young kids? We pull them out of the schools they’ve been attending and send them back to the place they’ve never known as home, right?
That's inhumane.
But it's their choice. Find legal relatives to live with and remain here, or travel with their loving illegal family and continue using the language they already know, into their normal loving country with their supportive reliable family.
Uh, yes, that's the general idea.
What's the alternative? Make slaves of you and your children to pay for their free sh*t until the end of time?
We owe them NOTHING, other than reasonable care that they don't starve or die of exposure in custody.
Honestly, do you want to pay for their upkeep beyond that?
Sure. Why not? Why is it considered such cruel torture to send kids back to the nations of their parents? They probably have relatives there and have visited there while growing up. For however long the kids have lived in the US, they've gotten a free education at the expense of the US taxpayer. They still owe us a "thank you." Any suffering they go through as a result of being sent back is due to their parents, not us. If their parents had robbed a bank, for instance, the kids would suffer because their parents would be in jail. Yet we don't hesitate to incarcerate bank robbers who have kids.

Yes.

They will have to ask their lawbreaker parents why they chose to put them into such a precarious position.
Hardships happen all the time to innocent kids whose parents break the law.
Do you get all weepy-eyed over American kids whose lawbreaking parents wreck their lives?
Or do you only care about kids whose parents are foreign nationals breaking American law?
