Aren't you forgetting the entire "RULE OF LAW"? A child is under the protection and care of the parent until that child fully gestates...i.e., becomes an adult and no longer legally requires parental protection UNDER THE RULE OF LAW. Let's play the hypothetical game of WHAT IF....the favorite of left wing nuts where emotion is supposed to be paramount to logic, reason and common sense.
Being under legal obligation as a parent to protect her child...even as a fetus, the choice of what happens to the child is entirely up to the parent. The question then is the same as its always been.....the righteousness of the parent, what she decides her child is actually worth to her. If she is deported the child is obligated by the rule of law to obey its parental wishes as the parent is the only authorized life that can make decisions concerning life, death, and any other manner of life effecting acts of free will.
Even if the child is a US CITIZEN....that citizenship does not preclude a parent from exercising her parental guardianship. She must by the rule of law do what is in the best interests of the child or face the penalties thereof. In other words.....its of "moot" concern of what citizenship a child is, as there is no method of separating a child from its parent while its in a state of GESTATION regardless of the stage of that gestation from conception to legalized adulthood. Logic and Reason would dictate the only recourse.....the child must go with the mother, unless you want to do the Solomon thing and kill the child. What if the parent refuses to follow the rule of law and continues to break US LAW and reenters under illegal circumstances until the child is separated from the parent via the natural birth cycle?
The same thing that happens to all criminals.....they are separated from the child and either imprisoned or deported. The child, being a US citizen is then placed into the foster care of the US GOVERNMENT where there are any number of ready, willing and able couples simply drooling at the chance to adopt a child regardless of skin color or dual citizenship status.
But in the end.....the right of parenthood prevails, the parent has the option of taking that child with her (IF DEPORTED), again its the righteousness of the parent that is paramount....she is either a righteous parent or a parent that could care less about the life she conceived.
What happens to that child when it becomes an adult when it is legally a dual citizen....again its a matter of free will.
He/She can come and go as a US CITIZEN as long as the travel complies with the US RULE OF LAW. That's all any conservative demands......compliance with the rule of law.
Which brings up another NON-ENFORCED RULE OF LAW concerning immigration, a law legislated and signed into law under the Clinton Administration of the 90s, a law that has been unenforced for decades.....a law Mr. Trump has recently declared he will ENFORCE to the letter. This law called the "Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act" requires that anyone that sponsors the immigration of another is held responsibility for all the GOVERNMENT AID used by the person being sponsored. Example if the new immigrant accepts food stamp, welfare monies, technical job training or any other type of government aid....THE SPONSER is held responsible to PAY BACK everything the government has given the new immigrant.
This will be entertaining as hell and will not be a HYPOTHETICAL situation.
