Shall the children be punished for the sins of their father?

Better yet . . . why do we have this law on the books making those children citizens if we are going to deport Dad for a traffic violation?

If the law makes them citizens, shouldn't the law also allow the one who brings them bread to earn?

I don't for a moment believe that the country is better off by deporting this guy, leaving the taxpayers (and really private donors in this case) to foot the bill for THREE people who now have no other means of support.

Ron Paul repeatedly talks about the economic principle that when you subsidize something, you tend to get more of it. Now that we have been subsidizing, and getting more of these citizens who are born to people here illegally--(and they are citizens, with all the rights that go along with that, just like you)--how can we now say "off with your parents then"?

I don't mean to claim that we cannot . . . obviously we have done that. But what I mean is more along the lines of "how can you DO that?" Morally, ethically, pragmatically, economically . . . it's wrong.
