Exactly

Illegal is illegal...get legal or get out.

I'm not talking about the kid that was born here.

Their kid is a US citizen for being born here but they are not. They should be very aware of what could happen if they get caught. Considering they left their other kid back in Peru years ago and haven't seen her since leads me to believe they are aware. They shouldn't be surprised if what could happen does end up happening. Just because they have successfully gamed the US system for 7+ years doesn't mean it should continue ad infinitum.

Unfortunately I suspect the "enormous problem" President Garcia was referring to wasn't the tacit, or even overt, encouragement Latin American countries give their citizens to ignore US immigration law.
