Bingo. I wish I could rep you again but not so soon.

Who decides who is entitled to what? Who decides what is a humanitarian decision? Who decides on the fate of US citizens too young to do it themselves?

Unless I am mistaken - this is your country, your political system and your politicians. Maybe a bit of influx of fresh blood and different ideas is not such a bad idea after all.

If my husband and I die my kids will be sent 'back' to the UK even though neither of them have ever lived there, one of them is a born US citizen. If you fail to leave appropriate arrangements for your kids to remain in the US in case you die then they either become wards of the state or they are handed to the nearest family in whatever country they reside in. That is a fact of immigrant life and one that other immigrant parents should take notice of.
