    In case no read any articles on it, the mothers were illegal, these kids were anchor babies, and when the moms got deported, they had the choice of taking their kids with them or giving them up. The mothers made the decision to keep the kids.

      The article itself notes that the mothers were not given adequate time and given the complexity of having children who are legally US citizens, it can be readily argued that due process was denied in these cases:

      One of the US children removed from the country has “a rare form of metastatic cancer” and was deported without medication or medical consultations, the ACLU said.

      Gracie Willis of the National Immigration Project said the mothers weren’t given a fair opportunity to decide whether they wanted the children to remain in the United States. Willis said the 4-year-old and the 7-year-old were deported to Honduras within a day of being arrested with their mother.

        What due process do you expect for a baby? 10 years of lawyers going back and forth?

        Nah. They become illegal immigrants the moment they immigrate illegally. I think it’s pretty self explanatory.

          Borders are imaginary. People aren’t illegal.

          Your bigoted hateful views should be illegal, but that would violate amendment 1.

            You can’t have a welfare state and no borders, that’s not how that works, you’ll just attract every free loader on the planet and the system would collapse.
