Those who come here illegally and have been in the United States for years and start families and have US children should not be deported. The welfare of our American children is what is most important and deporting their mom or dad only does an injustice to them. I would also argue that it is bad for the tax payer because its likely these children will require social services or will cause trouble with no parents. The failure is not on this woman who has been living here for 17 years but rather on the system in place that allowed this women to get here in the first place. If we seriously want to tackle this problem the effort should not be in kicking people out but rather preventing them from getting here in the first place. I don't have an answer but I would support GPS tracking for all travel visas at all times, so if people even think of staying we can deport at that moment before they form roots. As for illegal entry DRONES and MASSIVE increase work visas will solve that problem.
