I don't believe in punishing the son for the sins of the father. I don't think any adjustment should be necessary. I think kids who were unwittingly brought here and grew up in the US should be given citizenship. So no, I would not self-deport. I would do exactly what Jose Antonio Vargas did.

Anyone who would do what that despicable Jose Antonio Vargas did has no moral compass or a conscience.
If we just handed out citizenship to people just because their parents are lawbreakers, we would be flooded with illegals and their kids.
I guess that you also think that kids whose parents robbed banks should be able to keep the loot that their parents stole because they were "unwittingly" a part of a criminal family.
Perhaps you also think that the government should give a fat check to anyone who grew up poor because, as kids, they didn't ask for it.
Personally, I think that all illegal aliens---no matter how they got to this country or how old they were when they got here---need to be sent packing. That said, since the law allows minors who were brought here illegally a chance to adjust their status when they turned 18, there is no excuse for someone like Vargas to not have made an effort to do so.
