The idea is that adults can sponsor their parents for a green card but children cannot. Of course it makes absolutely no sense given the disruption to US citizen children's lives if their parents are deported, but US immigration generally is quite cruel if you're on the margins.
- Detrytus 3y agoI think parents of US citizen children cannot be deported for that exact reason: it would leave the child without a parent. That's why they are called "anchor babies". But of course if they leave the US willingly (e.g. traveling to their home country) they will be banned from ever coming back.
