Luis didn't get deported-- do you think he should have? The story of Luis-

So the first headline I hear when I walk in the door this evening was -- Luis gets to stay in the US.  Hmm who is Luis and why does he get to STAY was what I was asking-- so I watched and listened- Tell me what you think.  I am going to cut to the chase-

Luis was arrested in 2011 for having a expired license and running a red light.  Luis has wife and 3 children-- "they wanted him to stay"-- Luis wanted to stay in the US and not be DEPORTED back to Mexico.  His children are American Citizens, he works construction all week and then he volunteers at Habitat for Humanity on weekends.  Today he was granted the opportunity to stay here- was given a green card and can apply for citizenship in 5 years.    He had a huge rally of support from his local community and his attorney said "he is a good guy-- he works hard". 

So should Luis be able to stay?  Is it ok to break the law and bend the rules "if you are a good guy?" Is it ok that his children age 16 months to 9 years had to worry about their dad going back to his HOME Mexico?
