The US has by far the most foreign born residents of any country, and is always in the top 2 or 3 countries accepting immigrants every year! So, if you're going to measure the cruelness of a country by the immigrants they take in, the US would fair well on that scale. I mean basically everyone I know is either a first, second, or third gen immigrant.

Tell that to the 19 year old girl who might get deported and who'll lose the only life she knows. I'm sure it'll comfort her to know how good other immigrants have had it. Cruelty can't be measured the way you're trying to.

  It's a tragic story, but it is simply not the story of the US. There are lots of people looking out for Dreamers, too, I'd be surprised if she wasn't able to stay when it's all said and done.

  It probably sounds callous but her parents chose to move her here knowing full well she wasn’t on the path to citizenship. Apparently it’s been like this for a long time too.

  I feel like this idea of no need for responsibility is a massive trend in the US here and imo it needs to stop. You are completely blaming the us here when in fact the responsibility of this is on the parents. If the law had changed then while the child was growing up, sure say this is cruelty on the part of the US but in this case if you are going to say its cruelty then that cruelty falls on their parents who knowingly put them in this position. If I tell you not to go to the top of mount Everest as you will die and no one will come save you, then you choose to go to the top of Everest and freeze is who is at fault? The Nepal government or you? Imo that is 100% your fault.

  I'm just not going to reply to the heartless comments from (clearly) Americans. I don't have an infinite amount of time nor the responsibility to teach any of you compassion or economic common sense.
