I generally support illegal immigrants being deported, including in this case, but looking over the details here I get the impression that he's being portrayed unfairly by the media.

He took the little girl to a library and tried to get help from the librarian. That's not what bad guys do.

Still, it wouldn't have happened if he knew just the basics about US culture or civic structure or the language. I think he'll be better off back in his home country.
