    What you said is very true.
    But I stand by what I said.  If the illegal-alien parents are deported, 
they'll take their kids home with them...and out of being a drain on the 
taxpayers here.
    From age 0-18, kids cost society far more than they contribute in 
America, because they do not work much and pay little taxes while society 
pays high costs for them (schools, AFDC, etc.).  If the U.S.-citizen kid of 
those deported illegal parents comes back to America at 18, at least 
taxpayers here won't have had to pay for his schooling or welfare benefits.
