4. But it won't be sadly.
We have young people in our country who are here because their parents came here undocumented when they were babies or young children. Today these young people are good citizens and many are very bright and socially productive citizens. They can't get citizenship because if they apply they will be sent to a country they don't know, be denied citizenship chances for 10 years, and then when they can apply, they likely will be refused.

We are even deported veterans who served and got out of the military. I had one such veteran on my show who was awarded a medal by President Clinton for saving his commander in Kosovo but got deported a month or so ago because he had a check bounce. This is based on a 1996 law that is now being misused. This is the type laws we need to change.
