Two children living in the US have had both of their parents deported back to Nicaragua. The children are both citizens but their parents are not. The two children were sent to live with a family friend and she became their legal guardian, but their parents are still in Nicaragua. Lots of children go through this and if they don't have family or friends, they could be put into the foster care system or adoption. If they're put up for adoption, they have no chance of seeing their parents again. If the children are put through the foster care system, most of them face depression and tend to move away from society.
I this that this is just awful! No child should have to go through this and their parents are just trying to find a better life. I mean, I understand why they are deported and I think that as a parent, their first priority is their family and to protect their family, first they need citizenship or at least a green card. It's a long process and it's really complicated, but it seems like the US doesn't even care about our generation. According to the article, 17 children are put into foster care each day and it seems like after they're put there, the US government just stops caring about them.
