You progressives start screaming about the"law of the land" when it comes to educating illegal aliens of school age at public expense.I am not talking about children of illegals born here-they are US citizens. Well,the "law of the land" applies in all cases.Sorry if you think it's "unfair",but it came about by our legislative process and has never been successfully challenged in court. We are not obligated to allow non-citizens to remain in the US if they are criminals.Technically,virtually any illegal alien can be deported but the emphasis for many years has been on criminal aliens as a matter of prioritization. Criminal aliens made up about 90% of the people I arrested during the 12 years I was assigned to Providence.In El Centro,CA and Chicago,IL it was different-more plain illegals,which was like shovelling sand against the tide. I believe that the taxpayer's money was well-spent when we apprehended criminal aliens. Is there ANYONE in your book who should be deported? If the families of deportees are affected,I think those deportees should look to themselves for the reason why.In this society you should bear responsibility for your actions.
