i fear what i'm arguing. i also fear for the bastard kids, and their mothers. but i cannot pretend there doesn't need to be an answer. if the child is born in the us, and becomes citizen, then we get an orphan, or a bastard. if the child is sent home, then it is raised with its home culture, and is not american. to bring him here is to foil the purpose of naturalization, and break harmony by gifting protection to a person who cannot understand our causes. if the mother, father, and child are given residence, then the community is forced into a relationship with a strange people who have strange laws and habits, bringing strain and confusion, and risk for no reason. this is disorderly, obviously risking breaching peace. we should hazard that peace may be breached, we are neighbors, this is a nation. but we ought not encourage places where strife arises so we get disorder.
