The kids falsified their idenity or their parents did? Trying to compare this to statutory rape is like comparing apples to oranges. I still have yet to see any proof or better yet a statue cited that explains what kind of illegal behavior these kids are guilty of. They were not here of their own willingness but were forced here by their parents. I am not sure what our governments position is on this issue to be honest about it. Yes the kids are considered illegals but they are not guilty of crossing our border illegally. I still question the legality of their status in this country. I think they are more likely in limbo than anything else.
We give legal status to kids of illegals if they happen to be born here. Is that fair since their parents at the time commited a crime and crossed our borders illegally? Or would some of you say that since the parents are illegal that the kids born in the US should be illegals and not receive citizenship? The kids in both cases are unwilling participates, yet one gets legal status while the other gets illegal status even after attending our schools for most of their childhood.
I guess we will have to agree to disagree since no one has been able to cite or provide a statue that shows these kids are guilty of illegal activity or any kind of illegal behavior. Their parents certainly are, but again the kids I am sure have commited no crime. Its easy to paint this issue as black and white but it is way more complicated than it appears. I applaud Huckabee for trying to find a solution to a complex problem. There are no easy answers for this issue except to make the federal government (INS) do a better job and to get our freaking borders secured.
