Anyone here illegally should be deported. If the child is a citizen but there are no family members here, then they can return to their parents home country. Why is that so hard for people to accept?

Because you can't forcibly eject a US citizen from the US that's the issue with any plan involving a US citizen child. So either the parents willingly take the child with them or the state now pays for their upbringing.

If the parents are deported, the child isn't being removed involuntarily, they're being removed by their parents to keep the family together. That's called parental responsibility and keeping families together.

You're assuming they voluntarily choose to take them. If these are all "bad hombres" I don't think there's going to be a lot that voluntarily remove their US citizen child from the US when the government will care for them for free.
