I hope the Servanos can stay in the U.S. They have become valued members of society. I do think that they played a game (lied) to Immigration when they entered the U.S. Our flawed system gave them time to prove they are good people. Since they are "our friends," we want them to receive special treatment.
So, should the other 10 million people who are working daily in the U.S. here "outside" the rules also get similar treatment if they have been good people? I think so.
Our system is flawed. If we let people stay here this long and they do well, let them stay. We need not fear good people.
