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.

For starters, they're not really citizens, and even if they were, they can
return to America when they grow up.
