How is it that you can expect illegal immigrants to go back to their homes - which are places that they don't even know. Please keep in mind people that they didn't have a choice as children in reference to whether or not they came into the US. Their parents made that decision for them. AND if they left before they were eighteen, they would still be going back to a place they know nothing about and the option of coming back to the US is only available after 7years of being in their home country. What do you suggest they do? Stay in America, a place that they know and suffer? Or go back to their home country and suffer? Let's be reasonable here people. Why should a child suffer because of the deeds of the parent(s)?
