No Heart?

So, I was just reading CNN and apparently Liberians here in America are facing a mass deportation starting March 31st when their "temporary protection status" ends. Now, this temporary protection status was first given to Liberian citizens trying to flee slaughter and a tyrannical rule of Charles Taylor (no relationship to the shoes, but there might as well be one). This was in the 1990s. Now, that would mean that there are Liberians here who have lived here for upwards of 10-15 years, who have had children, bought houses, started businesses, established friendships and relationships, etc. How can we take these people in, let them obtain some idea of semi-permanence and then order them out? The children are legal citizens of America, where are they to go? Some people in the country want to just throw them out, with nothing more than a good-bye. Can we honestly just kick them out, and expect them and their children to adjust to a life they have been removed from for so long, or in the children's case on they have never before? Can we allow ourselves to deport legal citizens, or do we suppose that we separate the children from their parents?

Start processes to allow the Liberians to gain citizenship if they want!
