Then you are pretty ignorant of law in its practice because these things certainly do have bearing on legal proceedings.
No, actually they don't.
If an American child living in New York runs away from home where that child is being abused and the child sneaks into someone's house and steals a blanket and some food and then hides somewhere .. and steals some food the next day similarly .. and then again the next day .. and the next .. .. and finally gets caught ..
.. Then the judge upon learning of the child's plight will not throw the book at the child, but will cut the child some slack because the child's crimes are simply not huge and he'll then place the child in protective custody upon seeing the bruises on the child's back.
But ..
.. If an adult trespasses, forges a false identity or steals someone else's identity, violates U.S. employment law, violates U.S. customs law, commits other associated frauds in the process of stealing jobs, classrooms, road-space, living-space, etc. from American citizens .. some of these crimes which are felonies .. including child endangerment for committing such crimes in the presence of a child ..
.. No, there are thousands of both U.S. citizen children and illegal alien children in America separated from their deported parents, mostly because their parents
chose not to take them with them during deportation, that attests to the fact that, no, there is no leniency ever rightly shown by a judge regarding deportation.
No judge is going to say "Oh -- you don't want to take your kids with you .. okay, charges dropped and you can stay in America."
They just don't do that here, and they don't because the crimes are huge!
It's not like the little abused child stealing some food for survival.
Illegal aliens are stealing American citizens'
jobs, millions of whom were thus impoverished and hundreds of thousands rendered homeless, them and their children.
The crimes are
way bigger by the illegal aliens .. so no "leniency" is appropriate.
Illegal aliens are lucky they don't get locked away for years and made to pay tens of thousands of dollars in reparations prior to deporting them.
I suppose you could say that they are getting leniency thereby, not having to be imprisoned or pay huge restitution.
But, no, the fact the illegal aliens might have kids has no bearing on the judge's decision to deport them, nor should it.
What do you think prosecutorial discretion is?
Dereliction of duty.
That's what Obamnesty is: a dereliction of duty wolf in prosecutorial discretion sheep's clothing.
