"Really? They're adults, as evidenced by work permits and university attendance. Trying to portray all of them as innocent six year old children cracks me up. You people are a riot."

Are you really this stupid?  Yes, they are adults.  And many if not most, arrived in the US when they were children who were subject to their parent's decisions, not their own.  And so as adults who have lived their entire life in the US, likely only know English as their spoken and written language, and have relationships to the community are now forced to leave due to circumstances beyond their control.  Now that strikes me as humane, reasonable, and logical.  And for your benefit, that last statement was SARCASM.  Get it?  Probably not.  Look it up in the dictionary.

Sad to see the utter cruelty exhibited by some posters on this thread.
