How do you feel about minors who are immigrants?
Back to 'War, Peace & Politics' forum.
There are a lot of minors who are immigrants, yet they did not come to America by choice. Many were born here from immigrant families. How do you feel about America deporting them once they turn 18? Is it fair?

Legislators wanting to deport young immigrants have a moral issue that they need to work on. These minors entered this country with no sense of what was going on. Many of these young immigrants came here as young children and consider themselves Americans. If deported back to their country of birth origin it would be unfitting for them to be in a country that they don't remember. Undocumented students all across the country have increasingly been denied access to a higher education due to legislation cracking down on undocumented citizens.
High Achieving students of undocumented status are struggling and are being boxed in by unfair society. Legislation tries to justify this as a form of amnesty for all immigrants when in fact it's only giving a chance for intelligent deserving young students a chance to attain their dreams. Shutting the doors of democracy and freedom to individuals is immoral and must change soon.
"There are too many Immigrant comming into our country" blah blah blah You know this whole thing is stupid because once you think about it we're ALL immigrants. I know for a fact that about 80 % or more of all americans come from A DIFFERENT COUNTRY the only exception are the Native americans I mean obviously they were here first and then the french and then the germans and so on >_< SO FORGET IT PEOPLE.WE ARE THE LAND OF THE FREE AND THE HOME OF THE BRAVE and even though we all look sound maybe even taste different.. we're all penuts. <3

I agree. Would you convict a two year old who was brought along to a bank robbery by its parents? Not that I think following the flow of capitalism across an imaginary line to put food on the table is in any way comparable to violently taking an innocent person's money....
The immigration system has serious problems. Either grant an amnesty or fix the system so that genuine hardworking people willing to assimilate to our culture can come quickly and easily.
Whichever, do not punish minors for their parents' choices.
