If you move the shit do you need to get a passport for it?

He can't move it, it has full rights as a citizen of Big V's yard. He'll just have to accept it and learn to get along. On the bright side, it'll probably fertilize his grass for substandard wage.

Surely there must be systems in place for the children of illegal immigrants who are deported. I can't believe American citizens would just leave a child in the street to fend for itself.

I'm sure there are instances of older kids in their teens remaining here on their own, just as there are teens whose parents are citizens who live on their own. But I think most of the kids who stay here are either left with relatives, or put into foster care.

There are definitely not hordes of deported immigrants' children roaming the streets here.

You'll never convince me that is a desirable situation.

Who's paying for the foster care? Do you really believe the spawn are better off in foster care than with their families? That's just crazy talk.

Nor did I say there were, yet. I'm saying nip it in the bud. An ounce of prevention and all that.

Oh, and guest workers have to be spayed or neutered.

Where did I say that was a desirable situation, or that foster care is better.

Why do you say guest workers should be spayed or neutered? They're not dogs, despite your fucked-up analogy.

Great, then we agree the little darlings would be better off with their parents.
Um... that's what I proposed.

It'll probably do it for nothing if he leaves it to it's own devices.

See, shit does perform a valuable service to society.

She wasn't your responsibility, she was her mother's and her own. She wasn't anyone's "problem."

If you consider say, U.S. citizen kids' public education to be a "problem," that's too bad; you can't do anything about it unless you decide not to pay your taxes.

Then she's a moot point, because her mother took care of her.
That's what I want, the parents to be responsible for their children and not dump them on society.

So, just so you could be mad about something, you made up this national crisis in your head, where vast numbers of undocumented immigrants are dumping their kids on society?

Now stop that.
I got from the article that started this, "particularly in the separation of children from their parents". My answer to that is take 'em with you until they are 18, or provide a trust fund to care for them so they are not dumped on the streets or anywhere else.

You and that other apologist for the criminals, were all up in arms about deporting the spawn, but had no solution what to do with the little buggers, except don't deport the criminals. That's not an acceptable solution.

If the new bill is passed, that will be the official solution, acceptable to you or not. The punishment will be a fine, not deportation (if they are otherwise law-abiding).

You better read past the headline, in addition to the $5k, they also have to go home, learn English and wait in line to come back according to the news this evening.
