[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just read an article about the children born in the US to illegals.  It stated that although the parents were deported, the children were put in state custody and some put up for adoption because " they have will have a better life in the US, than the country their parents were deported to".  REALLY???  I am completely floored by this article.  Sounds a bit like what we said to the American natives, or what the Germans said to the Jews.  How can we say where a child is better off?  So should every child not living in a country we feel is up to our standard be brought here against the parents will because we will give the child a better life?  This is very scary!  I get the fact that the parents knew they could be deported at anytime back to the country they came from but let them take the children with them.   I don't care if they were born here or not, they are not PROPERTY of the US.  Let the child make the decision to come back to his or her home country when they are adults.  I would bet every dollar I have if you asked the child where he/she wanted to be, it would be with the parents.  Children don't give a damn about the "good life".  They care about their mother and father.  
I would love someone out there to explain to me how this is legal![/quote]

Back to the original question...I am as surprised as you are -- assuming that is the case. Does being deported from Country X (in this case, the USA) automatically mean losing guardianship of one's kids? Why? If not, what prevents the parents, once back in Country Y, from claiming their kids to be reunited with them? (I would assume only a small minority would rather see their kids put in state custody) Once the kids become adults, they can come back to the US on their own, as Americans, if they choose to.[/quote]
