ORIGINAL: GoddessManko To be honest, if the government is going to deport migrants, whether by revoking status or because they already are out of status they might as well do it. Immigration laws are not designed to keep people out but to keep them in. I think if many are legalized you will see an exodus unless people are business owners/own property here. They mostly stay due to their families. But if you are illegal you are not eligible for government benefits, driver's license or even ability to work. In that status and having sole custody of an American born child you're not allowed to leave the country or sometimes the state with unless you get the permission of the court leaves you in a cache 22. It is a situation where no matter which direction you move you will break the law in some way. It is way more complicated than most people think. If they deport the illegals, those parents do not have allowance to leave with their children. But at least they are not criminalized as a parent, but rather as an illegal, thereafter the state/taxpayers will takeover care of that child. There is no law and no government agency that mandates that the children of illegals must be left behind. The only reason that they would not be able to is if they did not have custody.
