Fair is Fair

It seems inconsistent that our President can make such righteous statements about innocent children being deported as illegals when they were brought to the states by their parents and have contributed by becoming educated and, in some cases, become successful in the military.  These children didn't have anything to do with the decision to come illegally, had no choice in where they are, and might be worthy of protection rather than having to pay for their parent's decision.

While that is worth considering as a philosophical question, doesn't it follow that a child in the womb is as innocent and worthy of at least as much protection by the government, recognizing they as individuals they had nothing to do with the decision to exist or be conceived, yet they pay the highest price for indecision by their parents - with their lives - so that the parents can be relieved?
