The parents of the children should consider the risk they put their children in when they break into our country. We have got to start enforcing the laws of this country.

"In every other area of law enforcement, we hold the parents responsible,” he said. “In immigration situations, it was the parents’ decision to violate the law that created this situation.” Bingo!!!
Don't commit unlawful acts while here as an "illegal alien" and the children shall not be subjected to adverse interventions of Law Enforcement while enforcing the laws of the land. I guess that premise is to complicated for many to comprehend.

The article and comments clearly point to the fact that the system DOES NOT work. Our political representatives need to tackle the tough issues, like immigration reform, and find solutions. Doing nothing will only cause illegal immigration to continue to be a problem. Mass deportation is NOT the answer as it will cost over $1 billion of our tax dollars, and we would continue to tear families apart, families whose children (the majority) are Arkansas-born citizens... clearly the wrong thing to do from a biblical mandate.
