I know all of that. BUT those kids did not come here ILLEGALLY. They were FORCED here by their Parents, so they never knew better till they grew up. Someone said they could not become LEGAL by APPLYING for Citizenship themselves, and I don't understand WHY!!
You keep explaining the SAME THING, but I am not asking the SAME QUESTION!!!
It is quite a stretch to declare they were FORCED here by their parents; they went willingly with their parents as all children do. You say those kids didn't come here illegally but they did not come legally (i.e. they are in the country illegally and not eligible to apply for citizenship). When they reached the age of 18 they became responsible for their illegal status and their failure at that point to return to the country within which they are legal citizens caused their status at that point to become illegal, still not able to apply for citizenship unless the laws are changed.
