I do agree with that.  It should be case to case.  I don't like living in CA and having it be a sanctuary state.  Not that that changed much of anything in just the last few weeks but over time it will.  If he came as a child but never became a citizen I sort of have a problem with that.  Why not just take the time to become a citizen?  In the wake of all that has transpired over the last year why not take the steps knowing full well what the consequences might be?
 
I know that they must have a green card and the process to become a citizen is a long one but if they start the steps and are lawful and study to take the test, learn English and assimilate to the customs, pay taxes, don't live off of the government...then when deportation raids like this happen they won't have to worry.  They are in the process.  If they don't bother then it's their fault.

ps....and please don't think I am against immigration.  I am totally for it but legally.  I am first generation here on my dad's side.  He came to the US in 1956 from Greece speaking less that 6 words of English, got his green card/work visa, worked hard, learned English, paid taxes, became a citizen, married, bought a home, had a child (me), brought his mother over, his sister, her husband and 5 year old son who all became citizens as well.  Legally.  Never had to worry about being deported or living in fear.  Why?  Because they worked hard, studied, were law abiding and took the time to do it.

Man Deported After 30 Years In America: It Wasn't My Choice To Come

Jorge Garcia, the man who had lived in the U.S. for 30 years and was deported to Mexico this week  despite having no criminal record, wishes the Trump administration was willing to look at immigration cases individually.
Jorge Garcia, the man who had lived in the U.S. for 30 years and was deported to Mexico this week  despite having no criminal record, wishes the Trump administration was willing to look at immigration cases individually.
"I didn't go into the country by my choice. I was a kid," Garcia, 39, told CNN's "New Day" on Wednesday from Mexico City. A family member brought him to the U.S. at the age of 10 as an undocumented immigrant, and Garcia married a U.S. citizen. 
Responding to Sen. Lindsey Graham's (R-S.C.) admission that Garcia's deportation is "something we need to look at," Garcia expressed hope that perhaps the government will allow him to return.
"I know that somebody is at least looking at my case," he said. His situation, he added, is further proof that these cases should receive individual attention.

Jorge Garcia was deported Monday after 30 years in the US, leaving his wife and kids behind. Today, he joined New Day and said, "I didn't go into the country by my choice. I was a kid." http://cnn.it/2Dq1kbm 

It's a nightmare that came to life that we don't wish upon anybody," his wife, Cindy Garcia, told MSNBC on Tuesday.
She worries how she will support her family now that she's the only source of income, she added. "It's going to be very rough, living off low income, our life is going to change because I have to support two households, mine and Jorge's until he gets a job."
She noted that a lawyer is working to file a waiver on Garcia's behalf to permit him to return to the U.S.
Garcia's deportation shows President Donald Trump's immigration crackdown in action. While an Obama-era policy focused on deporting undocumented immigrants with criminal records, it's been replaced with a more widespread mandate to go after anyone not living in the country legally, regardless of their criminal history.
From the time Trump took office until the end of September, Immigration and Customs Enforcement removals that resulted from arrests increased by 37 percent over the previous year, according to the Department of Homeland Security.
