Children that are citizens have all the same rights granted by the Constitution that adults that are citizens are granted by the Constitution. Period. I've been unable to find anywhere that says, "under 18 must go!"

So, let me ask you this, what about a purely domestic case where the parent is taken out of the equation. Deportation, sudden death, imprisonment, abduction by aliens, whatEVER. What would you do with those children? Deport *them*? Why does the formerly present, but now absent, parent's status have fuck-all to do with whether or not this young American Citizen is permitted to stay in their country?

You're pretty clear on what the punishment should be here. What is the crime of the child?

You tell me. I don't want them, so I guess they'll have to live at your house

When your neighbors dog comes over and shits in your yard, you chase him off, But the shit is now your problem because it's a citizen of your yard.

The shit isn't a citizen. A citizen is a person.

That's real nice, comparing children to shit.

One of my best friends in school was the daughter of an undocumented immigrant from Mexico. She made the honor roll every year, and became a teacher after graduating from college. She's not "shit."

She is also not my responsibility and I don't want her to be my problem or expense.

Until your 18, you ain't shit.
