Oh, the 'pink card' is not a reward.they can stay here and work, pay taxes, but are never able to collect social benefits, such SSI, Medicare, Medicaid, welfare, etc. In addition, never able to apply for citizenship. If their kids are booted from America, they go with. if they do not integrated within say 3-4 years ( as in  pass English classes ), they are booted. Gang association or drugs? They go . No medical or car insurance? They go. If they marry an American, they still can not get citizenship, and if all of their kids are deported, so will they.

Believe me, it is not a reward. They are not allowed to benefit from their coming here illegally. We are simply offering them a chance to keep the family together, but they must do so on own dime.
