First, they weren’t deported, they traveled with their parents.
Do you think their parents wanted to give them away?
Rubio:
"That’s a misleading headline. Three U.S. citizens, aged 4, 7 and 2 were not deported. Their mothers were legally deported, and the children went with their mothers. They can come back to their father or someone who wants to assume them. Ultimately, it was the mothers who were here illegally.“
They are citizens now. They can come back when they are old enough to be on their own…or earlier if the mother wants to send them here with a responsible party.
They are most likely citizens of Guatemala and the US.
Those who don’t want our immigration laws enforced want to paint deportees taking their citizen minor children with them as deporting the children, which it is not. Children take trips overseas all the time for tours or visits. That doesn’t mean they lose their citizenship or are deported. But if you can sell it that way, you have gone a long way to invalidating our immigration laws. Come to the US, have a kid at the expense of the taxpayer, and you have de facto permanent residency.
