Maybe the dems should have voted an d agreed with Trump on the Wall & many dreamers would have been given the opportunity to stay & live in America!! This young man should be allowed to stay, since his parents left him here!!

Sorry but hard examples like this need to be made. If you’re here illegally you must be sent back. Then you can come back the legal way.

The Parents are the ones to blame here for putting him in this situation then deserting him.

The union teachers are up to bullshit again. Kids can't learn if they're out of class whining about a criminal.
