Mohammad most likely qualifies for asylum. He can file and suspend deportation.
The DREAM Act is no solution. Federal Comprehensive Immigration Reform is. However, coupled with allowing these children to stay (and 5 years is too short - 10 years is more reasonable) should be provisions forever eliminating 'anchor babies'.

John commented on the article |I agree with many of the comments above. Further, no one forced the parents of those children who want the DREAM Act to enter and remain here illegally. It was totally voluntary. They can leave at any time - Mexico's border patrol at the frontier will not stop you when you enter Mexico.
We are not responsible for sheltering, providing medical care, providing welfare and educating all of Central America. That is the key issue. No matter how long those students have been in the U.S., it has been an illegal act. They can try to get into Mexican schools or apply from Mexico for an F Visa to attend school here.

John commented on the article |Get over the 'Tea Party' obsession. This is not an issue originated by or fostered by one group- in most polls about 70% of US Citizens agree with the basic approach of the Arizona law - not the crazies on the Left who think "the movement is huge" as you do. If you think that is huge, wait until you see the voter backlash in November - that will blow you away! I really hope Obama tries an amnesty bill - he won't survive this term.

1. Look up the definition of 'racism': "animosity towards people of other races". This is a cultural, ethnic and nationalist issue. To discuss any of this you have to understand the dynamic. People are disgusted with the violation of our laws and it has nothing to do with color. Many Mexicans are of a similar color to many US citizens. The dislike of illegal aliens is the Mexican's belief that they can come here and openly flout our laws, take advantage of our systems and goodwill of the taxpayers and have no regard for those who patiently wait to enter our great country.
I'll take any bets that this (Arizona) statute passes Constitutional muster. Many, many actions by the police, city officials and Border patrol rely on 'reasonable suspicion'. Sure, that has to be defined, but it is a totally responsible metric.

Nobody is forcing those people to do any of that! Fine - if there is going to be immigration reform, let's make it truly universal. Limit the numbers coming into the country to work and monitor them closely. Laborers aren't the problem, it's their families, over stays, criminal activity and other burdens to our system that are.

John commented on the article |You have to provide a driver's license when driving, a hunting or fishing license when engaged in those activities, ID for most any transaction...such liberal gibberish complaining about it. There is zero burden to a US Citizen or authorized resident to showing minimal identification. Of course illegal aliens don't want to.
Mahoney should be in jail as well, for harboring criminals who molested children and impairing investigations.
Mahoney is just doing the bidding of the Vatican to shore up the depleted ranks of Catholics who left the church after the disgraceful way the church handled the child abuse scandal.
