Children Being Left in America

My mom had brought to my attention that a lot of children who came from immigrant parents are being left in America, while there parents are being forced to go back to their birth country. Now, we have so many children without parents that homes for children no longer have space for anymore kids. Tents have been made for the thousand that have been left homeless, I don't think the President has taken into consideration the serious effects of immigration ban. I have never really understood why people believe that all/most immigrants coming into our country do us no good. These immigrants coming into our country are looking to start a new and better life for themselves and their families. Not only is this impacting the the immigrants but the United States economy. In the article Donald Trump on Immigration: How it Affects the Economy and You, it read,"The Cato Institute reported that it would cost $60 billion to deport the 750,000 people protected by DACA. They contribute $28 billion a year to the economy."I don't think that many realize America is made of immigrants.
