The thing is 357...that being here illegal is not just a crime...it's a way of life. The kids are not at fault for being here illegal but (I'm generalizing here, there are always exceptions) the general attitude is the values the parents teach their kids. Once someone comes here illegal...illegal becomes a way of life and trickles down to the behavior of the kids. It goes from teaching them to milk the system for benefits to little things like cutting in line at Walmart (they skipped the immigration line..why should they wait in any other line?) to parking in a handicapped spot because it's close. It's a culture and a way of life. Look at the DUI's and crime here. This is what is taught to the kids of the illegals for the most part. You can spin it any way you want to be like wordy said ILLEGAL is ILLEGAL. If you are 15 years old and don't have papers you are STILL ILLEGAL regardless of how you got here....just not as responsible for being here ILLEGALLY. They should pass a law that if you bring your kid here illegally it's doing a crime with a minor and it should be a felony...not that it would slow any of them down.
