Off they go with their mothers (parents), and are able to return when they can in fact take care of themselves.
If there is an adoption by another family member, they can stay here with those family members, but must be adopted.
Children belong with their parents or family members, especially when they need to be raised.
Their parents don't belong here, they have no legal right to be here.
It's by the bad decisions of their parents that these children were born here.
It's by the bad decision of their parents that put their children into this position.
I'm still not seeing the decision making difficulty here.
Simple, clear and orthogonal policies can clear this problem up rather nicely. Adding more confusion, ambiguity, court ruling, subjective measures, all add complications, cost, time, expense and I'm not seeing the commensurate benefit.
If we are unwilling to secure the border, to turn nearly every illegal alien attempting to cross the border back to where they came from; to be able to track down tourist or student visa over stayers; if Mexico is willing to send them over by the 100,000's each year, then we need to be able to send them back by the 100,000's each year, except we can't, because we've invented ourselves a process, dragging in the lawyers, the judges, the courts, expert witnesses that testify as to the lord only knows what, and it's all far too complicated to make the needed decisions in a speedy and judicious manner, so it drags out for years, and as it drags out, the illegal alien, released on their own recognizance, disappears into the woodwork, never to be found again (or at least a very low probability of being found again).
The mere fact that they do disappear into the woodwork sheds light as to why we are, once again (recall the Regan era), in this conflict of whom to amnesty and make legal, and whom not to amnesty and basically send back if we find them.
Simplify it. Make it consistent. Make it easy to enforce and easy to understand. Make the consequences clear and simple as well. You know. Real immigration reform. Not yet another same-o-same-o, or worse, something even more complicated and time consuming.
Why not adopt the same immigration policies that Mexico has, point by point? That'd be fair, right? We treat Mexican illegal aliens the same way that Mexico treats their illegal aliens.
Don't they deport or jail immediately? Id even support the shoot on sight of known cartel people.
