That's reasonable, if course. If your parent squat in a house for when you're a year old and stay there for 15 years before getting evicted, you don't get to stay there because your parents broke the law.
But that kid shouldn't be charged with a crime either. His parents broke the law, not him.
I guess I see both sides on this issue. This is the only nation they know. If they are productive abs law abiding, I see no problem with a reasonable path to stay legally, or even obtain citizenship.
Likewise, there should be a reasonable path to send the bad ones back.
How about, if you bring a minor into the country illegally? You get deported and you forfeit your parental and familial rights. The kids stays and gets adopted out. But you can't come see them and they can't bring you over. Kid gets citizenship after adoption. If the illegals value what this country has to offer, it's a small price to pay to have your child raised in the land of opportunity.
But likewise don't charge a 16yo with a crime just because mom brought him over illegally when he was 6 months old.
The 16 yo still has to go back.
And I don't care if the kid doesn't speak the language.
Send them back anyway.
They'll learn fast enough.
I'm not paying for a tutor, either.

Just my 2 cents.
Cut off the taxpayer gravy train and a whole lot of them will self deport.
A good number of them are only here to bleed the taxpayer and have less than zero alliance to this country.
