see i am ranting about the ones that are fully illegal, if one child is illegal yet has a family here that is legal he should be granted a visa that family should vouch for him/her but explain to me how a child of 8 is not legal while the rest are? as for deporting only one person well that gets tricky if a whole family is here illegaly i know i hate to say it kicking them out is harsh but letting them stay is the reason the rest of them keep coming in. they figure eh whats the worst that can happen and come here... and explain to me how an illegal would be doing cancer research? if that person is in research they should be allowed to come here on a student visa not hop the border i'm sorry but i wont hop the border and decide im doing cancer research after all it takes a little bit of knowledge and education for that to happen. and just to clarify i am not for the idea of these people doing time in our prisons either we have plenty of our own to deal with if they deport them it should be done without the nonsence... but more importantly they need to seal the border and they need to make an example if no prescedent is set then how is this going to get resolved? i'm not saying everyone should go out and start calling the INS reporting every single apartment where they live but it has to start somewhere... we cross the border into canada and settle there you can be sure they will kick our ass out of there. or anywhere else in the world. or how about in asia with their strict drug laws they wont even allow you to get extradited to your country of residence to serve your sentence. its a sensitive issue
