That would include citizens and permanent residents. They aren't subject
to deportation. Other people claim that's actually wht he means.

 No, the citizen children wouldn't technically be deported in a legal sense.
 What he means is that if mom and/or dad have to go back to the home country,
they can take their kids with them. They don't *have* to leave them behind.
When they turn 18, they can come back to the U.S. if they want to since
they're citizens.
 When I was a kid, my mom and dad dragged me and my siblings all over the world
for my dad's job. We didn't have a choice because we were the kids and they
were the parents. We went where they told us to go.
 Illegals who are being deported can do the same thing.
 

What would happen to American-born children left behind by non-legal parents who got deported? I'm speaking of minors; obviously adults are on their own unless perhaps they are severely disabled and not able to fend for themselves.
I would imagine placing them with relatives in America would be the ideal outcome in most cases but people without relatives (or those with disreputable relatives) then go into the foster care system? That would seem a very bleak prospect indeed if the horror stories about foster care are true. Then again, going back home to some cess-pit third world drug cartel dominated country might be even worse....
