The legal difference between Assent vs Consent is a big deal when we are talking minors (sometimes this is called Affirmation vs Consent.)
Couldn't the legal argument be made that the children actually did commit the crime when they came of legal age?
While they were minors, they were brought over by their parents. However, upon reaching adult status, they chose to stay here. They made the free-will decision to stay in this country illegally. Their presence then turned into a willful violation of the law.
