This article is specifically referring to people who were brought to the United States as children. Having grown up in the US, they are often culturally American and often speak English with an American accent. (In fact, we've deported so many people who grew up in the US, that there's now a call center industry in Mexico that specializes in hiring people with American accents). It strikes me as incredibly wasteful for the United States to educate a person through the age of 18, only to then deport them or prevent them from continuing their education or working.
