    Why _not_ "just deport the parents"?  Do you think that a _criminal_ 
(which is what an illegal alien is, after all) should get amnesty just 
because he or she has a kid while here?  That's what you're arguing!
    All I heard about in the news today is how American schools now have 
record overcrowding.  Don't you think that if deporting illegals would have 
the effect of reducing school overcrowding for Americans (when the illegals 
took their children to whatever nation they were deported to) that America 
should do it?  Or are you willing to tell those American parents who wonder 
why their kid is in an overcrowded school that the reason why the school is 
overcrowded is that illegal aliens have a "right" to avoid deportation if 
only they'll have a kid here?
