First: What parents did was totally irresponsible. Forgot & human are all not acceptable.It is very basic for a person who come to a country must have the papers. Second:Well. on the otherhand.. may be our immigration officials could have still done something.. probably ego played its part.. may be the parents' approach irked them.. but still.. we Indians have great culture and values... we are from the country of Gandhi....I would rather sent father back to bring the original papers while allowing the children and mother to stay, failing which a hefty fine. Third: Given to the fact of so much problems from countries around us (all look like Indians & dark skinned..), let us not talk about skin here... It is typical Indian politician approach... trying to build defence based on matters totally unconnected and trying to coverup the mistake.
