America Let's Her Stay

What do we do with a person, born abroad, but brought here at age 3, illegally? What do we do when she is 19? Deport her?

The lady in question is Sara, and her story was told in the Salt Lake Tribune Sunday.

My answer to whether she should stay is:

America -- if you consider what America is about -- is not about crushing people and not about oppressing them. It is not about taking their freedoms away, and not about deporting them. It is about treating people fairly. It is about inviting people to join in enjoying our freedoms. Sara does no harm by living and breathing on American soil. Why should she be an offense to us by simply by living amongst us. America, if America represents what it was founded upon, let's her stay.
