If I died, yes.

If I went to prison, yes.

If I was being returned to a country where the life was **so awful** that I bribed coyotes, faced mortal danger in shipping containers or arid desert to knowingly face an army of immigration officials sworn to catch me not to mention an increasingly hostile population for the chance to work for below market wages in non-cushy jobs to get here in the first place, and I knew my children were *entitled to stay* because they were citizens, I would leave them behind. I would consider my odyssey a success. I would have gotten *my children* to a better place, even if I could not stay with them.

Good question.

I don't understand.... you didn't get your children here - they were born here. You chose to start a family here, knowing you could be jailed and/or kicked out for breaking the law, knowing you would either have to leave them or take them. How is that successful? Imagine being that kid...

Pretty subjective. Ignorant people believing con men, does not have a prerequisite of living in a hell hole.

BFD, you get a free bus ride back.

not to mention an increasingly hostile population

and rightly so

for the chance to work for below market wages in non-cushy jobs to get here in the first place,

nobody is forcing them...or inviting them

and I knew my children were *entitled to stay* because they were citizens, I would leave them behind. I would consider my odyssey a success. I would have gotten *my children* to a better place, even if I could not stay with them.

So you would rather have your kids begging in the streets, probably joining a gang for protection and selling drugs on the corner to earn their keep with the gang, than be in a nurturing family environment of poor people. You prick.
