Answer 1

The correct answers are as followed:

A.) Deporting undocumented aliens could separate families whose children are born in America- This issue with this problem is the fact that individuals born on American soil are technically United States citizens. However, their parents may not necessarily be citizens if they came here as undocumented immigrants. This causes significant problems, as young kids may be split from their parents who are responsible for taking care of them.

B.) The logistic of tracking and deporting all undocumented aliens in America would require enormous resources- Trying to deport all undocumented aliens would cost the federal government a significant amount of money. This is because of the resources needed to track down these individuals (research, information about their living situation, family history, etc.) along with the cost of transporting them back to their native country.
