If these kids are brought without knowledge and raised here...?Some speak better English than spanish, finish school, grow to be level headed students that have only known the American way since they can remember? Should they be able to stay? What do you think?

It depends what they are doing. If they have made it through school, have a good job, and seem to have assimilated into American culture, then I say let them stay. There are other illegal immigrants that have a higher priority to be deported. It's not their fault their parents brought them here. On the other hand, if they're doing drugs and on welfare, then they should be at the top of the deportation list.

Illegal immigration causes many problems that's for sure. That is an indisputable fact. Given your estimate of 20 million illegals let's proceed from there. Let's say even 1/3 of them are holding jobs. That's almost 7 million people in the workforce. Contributing to the tax base etc. That would leave 7 million job vacancies. Would our nation be able to handle that many leaving the workforce? Probably not. Would Americans step into these jobs for the pay offered? Probably not. Companies bottom line is profit. Would they raise wages to get Americans to work these jobs? Probably not. More companies would begin to outsource. Thus leaving many Americans out of jobs that now hold jobs. Our entire country would collapse and the Great Depression would look like a cakewalk. As I've said illegal immigration is wrong and needs to stop. But we also need to be realistic on deporting as you say 20 million people. Believe me...It's not going to happen for various reasons. So we must move forward and think of realistic ways to deal with the situation at hand and also insure the illegal situation is stemmed in the future. Better border security and visa systems need to be taken care of first and foremost so the situation doesn't progressively get worse. Once the flow is stopped we can then work on what to do with those already here.

Any inconvenience or even harm to the children of illegal aliens is caused by the illegal acts of their parents and not by the government that deports them.
When the children of thieves, rapists and murderers suffer painful ordeals, it is the fault of their parents and there is no tangible difference, as to the proper placement of blame, for these criminals.

No, becasue they were born here while in the midst of a crime. They should be sent home with their parents back to their home country. They are NOT citizens at birth, read the constitution.

Absolutely not. Why should they be rewarded just because their parents got away with breaking the law for years? They should be grateful that they got the free education while they were here. Rewarding wrong behavior just encourages others to do the same and makes it more difficult for those who obey the law and are waiting to come here legally.

hell no!!!! Just because they have it hard there they think that gives them an excuse to live it up here on our taxes with welfare and crap and not have to pay a dime. Years ago each of everyone had an ancestor that had it hard but they each came here legaly and paid there taxes and made a living. something illegal aliens need to learn to do!

.No, because that still encourages ILLEGAL immigration.
However.....you shouldn't be punished for being here Illegally.
It is part of the consequences of your parents for breaking the law in the first place.
Why should you be able to stay when people are waiting there turns to come here LEGALLY.
It shouldn't count against you if you apply to come here LEGALLY.

Of course not. It is the parent's responsibility to immigrate legally. If they fail to do so, then it is their responsibility to go home and raise their children in their home country.
Those children got a good education on the backs of the American taxpayer. They should count their blessings and go home.

They should return to Mexico, and make use of their significant US education to become entrepreneurs and rebuild Mexico
