I've seen a lot of awful comments in the blogosphere by people who say that the children of undocumented immigrants should be deported back to the birth-country of their parents. It is similar to someone saying that when I was 18 that I should go back to Germany even though I don't speak German and have no connections to Germany other than my families historical ties. <blockquote> However, there should be some way that they have to be making stride toward legal residency to enjoy the benefits of American society.</blockquote> The Dream Act would have done this. It's unfortunate that it was not passed. I think we are in agreement on this issue.

However, there should be some way that they have to be making stride toward legal residency to enjoy the benefits of American society.

I have sympathy for children who were brought to the U.S. by their parents by no choice of their own. I can understand that it is not fair to punish them for the actions of their parents, especially when that punishment could serve to prevent their contribution to our country. However, there should be some way that they have to be making stride toward legal residency to enjoy the benefits of American society. I do not think that that would be unfair.
