My take on it is this, I agree with most everyone here that deporting him is a waste of money and in the end serves no useful purpose. But, I still see the need for him to repay what he has done.
Sure, he was a kid when it happened. He found out what was going on, got the hell out and came here. He lied on his paperwork knowing that if he didn't, he'd never get in.
But still, he was involved. He stood between innocent people and freedom and helped injure or kill those who tried to escape.
My suggestion, community service. Send him to Holocaust survivor group meeting and let him look them in the eye and explain why he did what he did. Make him talk to the people he hurt and their families. Maybe someone there will give the verbal punishment he needs, or maybe they'll listen to him and forgive him. Their choice.
