You are smarter than that.
They had decades to become legal citizens and only started the process once Trump was in office. During those decades, they probably took more than they ever contributed and were a net negative in America. Just because their offspring joined the Marines does not negate all of that or make the laws they broke coming here unenforceable.

It is to get the riff raff out. The law shouldn't be selectively enforced. His parents have been in the country for 30 years and couldn't be bothered to go about obtaining legal status in that time frame? Also kind of ballsy to be coming and going from a military base knowing that you're not in the country legally.
By your logic, what other laws should parents of service members be exempted from following?

One son. The daughter only married a Marine
FYI, he will probably never actually "fight for our country" but yes he has a job as Marine.

Nope. Sorry. We have laws and borders for a reason. Without those we don't have a country.

They were here illegally for dozens of years but didn't commit any other crimes and were now trying to do the right thing. If leeway is going to be given, I would give it for instances like this.

I’d be in your side if that was put into law.
8 years in the service and both parents can get to the front of the line.

It seems to me the parents should get a partial mulligan and should be given immediate consideration for citizenship or at least a permanent work visa considering their circumstances.
If the parents aren't willing to go through that process, then ship them back home.

Right. But it needs to be codified.
I don’t think the majority here would be against that.
But, that’s not the law now. They have to go.
Just like in every other country.

What? How were the parents responsible for the son-in-law? Did they guide the SIL's dad into his mom by hand or something?

What a silly counterpoint. For that to have any bearing on this argument, you would have to think that we could not fill out our military without accepting illegals dropping anchor babies with the hopes that one day those kids will serve.

I get your compassion but that is the root of the entire immigration problem we find ourselves in as a nation. Compassion and empathy have trumped common sense and rule of law.

Too bad.

well, that's not the law. so your compassion, while noted, is pointless. and that kind of thinking is what led us into this mess where the entire country gets manipulated into thinking with their feelings instead of their brains.

Their kids had time to to grow up, marry, get pregnant, become a Marine and Esteban couldn't make the time to become a legal citizen? Neither could the mom?
It was much easier to become a citizen 20 years ago yet they never tried.
This ^^^^ is how you know most of these illegals, particularly the ones from Central and South America have no desire to assimilate to a common culture and language of the US. If they are being honest they would admit the goal is to bring their language and culture to the US to dilute the American culture that has been 300 years in the making.

No. The whole point is to get illegals out. If you had that long to get legal and you didn't..... Bye Felecia.
Criminals was step one. I never saw anything that would lead me to believe they would only go after violent criminals.
Illegal = bye bye.

I'm not saying the dad gets a free pass for entering the country illegally (30 years ago, which means in the last millennium).
But there should be an expedited path to becoming legal which recognizes his son's (and son-in-law's) service to our country.
For all we know those Marines and their dad voted MAGA since a majority of service members voted for Trump.
Arresting them (twice!) and then shipping them back seems a bit radical to me.
