Sorry, but you're not my boss. End of discussion.

Romney pandering to the Hispanic vote, probably cost him far more votes than it gained him. Romney acquired the republican nominee specifically because of his view on illegal immigration and "self-deportation." But, as usual, once he got the nomination he did an about face and it cost him more votes, than it gained.

If the parents screwed up, oh well. From that way of thinking do you think it's wrong for the child of a thief or murderer in jail to suffer because of thier idiot parent? Let me put it this way; I am not babysitting with my tax money willingly the kids of someone that intentionally came here illegally. That is like catching a burglar in your house and because he went to jail for burglarizing you now you have his kids in your house that you have to feed. That would be pure stupidity ! Why is it pure stupidity? DUH ! The thief says to himself, " I want 3 hots and a cot for free and i know if I go to jail, the fools I steal from will take care of my kids". Responsibility transfer to the ones who were being robbed. That is what is really wrong ! And as for those lame polls you mentioned; the question they asked was; Do you think if a child is born in the USA that they should be sent to the country of thier parents AND lose thier citizenship ?" Notice the question doesn't even mention illegals or "undocumented". I know because that is what was asked to me by the pollster. I asked if it refered to brats of illegals and the answer was for anyone. See how the answers can be pure BS in those polls?

Yes, I do think it is wrong for the child to suffer. What would you propose, that their children be branded in some fashion so that all of society knows that their parent was a criminal? Should the child go to jail as well?
If you get a speeding ticket, should your child have that ticket on his/her record as well?
Because that is essentially what you are suggesting.

Unless the child/children are U.S. citizens according the current interpretation of the 14 Amendment they need to go back to their homelands. Let their homelands care for them. We have enough of our own children to take care of. No one is suggesting that they be branded criminals for what their parents did however they shouldn't benefit from it either.

Then Bernie Madoff's grandkids should have their 529 plans seized, as well as any bank accounts started by grandpa or any children he hired.

You don´t have a clue what our core values are. If you really think that, please leave this nation or "self-deport". I promise these next years will not be pleasant for you. Treating people decently under the law is an American value.

Some of you have logic and beliefs that are not much different than the Taliban. I am an Iraq and Afghan war vet, so I may have an idea. You have freedom of speech, use it with your head if you can.

Uh; there's NOT a thing bad about deporting and NOT allowing illegal aliens back into the US. Sheesh!
