For decades, the practice of deporting children has become ubiquitous in our society. America takes pride in having a strong system to help people in need, but when deported children are sent back to their homelands, they are surrounded with violence and unhealthy conditions; both of which the United States tries to combat. Furthermore, children are sometimes separated from their families. If they are still illegal immigrants while their parents are citizens, the children are forcibly sent away in immigration raids. However, some Americans believe that the immigration policy is as follows, “Those who should get in, get in; those who should be kept out, are kept out; and those who should not be here will be required to leave,” but it should be noted that people are taking a moral stand for our immigrants’ rights, and are also actively working towards immigration reform in the United States. These children uproot their lives in hopes of finding a better future in America, and for these reasons children should not be deported back to their homelands. Because children suffer many hardships such as separation, poverty, and danger when they are deported, America should consider keeping illegally immigrated youth in the United States. Although some say that America needs to strictly follow its immigration policy in order for it to be taken seriously, is it not important to help those in need from other countries? America already puts in around 1.03 trillion dollars into welfare programs for people living here. It is estimated that helping children would not cost the United States nearly that much in comparison. But, by refusing to help these children, America is potentially condemning them to their deathbeds.
