But they're ILLEGALS. Illegals don't get freedom, they get deported. Those kids have no right to American freedom, that freedom is reserved for natural born citizens.

freedom is reserved for natural born citizens.

I don't believe that's the correct interpretation of "freedom", nor do I believe the founders of our nation would agree. I believe freedom is for everyone, except those who violate the rights of others. The groups in question have violated the rights of all Americans to manage our own territory by refusing to comply with just immigration and border management authority.

tl;dr if your first act upon breaking into my home is to hide in my basement, I have every right to assume you are a threat to my life, liberty and property, and to deal with you as a hostile intruder.
