Parents Who Are Undocumented Immigrants Should Be Deported If Their Children Were Born In The States.
I think they should not be deported but I'm sure there are a number of people who don't care and think they need to go.

Absolutely they should. There is no requirement that the children must live in the United States just because they are citizens, send them back with their parents and when they turn 18, they're more than free to come back if they wish as legal citizens.

This whole anchor baby nonsense is emotional blackmail.

I do think they should be deported but the whole family. Then be given the opportunity to legally immigrant because that's all the United States of America is. Just a whole bunch of immigrants except for the 20% native American

I don't see a compelling argument Moreno as to why the child being born here makes THE difference in deportation. If they are deemed as being here illegally, then the law should either be changed or respected. I don't think that the child should be left behind, and i don't see why the fact that the birth took place on this soil should change the status of the individuals being charged. I'm not even sure of the reasoning behind anchor babies to begin with.

 But the law as it exist today is that the child is an American citizen so i'm talking based on what exist today. The child cannot be deported.
So even if the parents are sent back, the children are still Americans and should be protected as such.

Yes they should be deported. They broke the law, got caught, and now have to suffer the consequences. If you have a big problem with breaking up families we should repeal the law that says anyone born on American soil is an American. Then the only way to become an American is to go through the proper channels and immigrate, or be born into an American family.
