Petition Stop the Deportation of Young People Based on Their Parents' Immigration Status.

We cannot begin to understand the emotional trauma that comes with being told you must leave a country you have lived in since you were a child and call home. These young people can no longer see their friends or go to places they are familiar with. Surely this can't be right.
