MEMORANDUM *

To the extent that petitioners challenge the Board of Immigration Appeals decision to affirm the denial of cancellation of removal due to a failure to establish an “exceptional and extremely unusual hardship,” 8 U.S.C. § 1229b(b)(l)(D), we lack jurisdiction. Martinez-Rosas v. Gonzales, 424 F.3d 926, 930 (9th Cir.2005).

To the extent that petitioners argue that they have a parental right to raise their U.S. citizen children in the United States, cf. Troxel v. Granville, 530 U.S. 57, 65 , 120 S.Ct. 2054 , 147 L.Ed.2d 49 (2000), they have failed to make a colorable constitutional claim. See Torres-Aguilar v. INS, 246 F.3d 1267, 1271 (9th Cir.2001).

DISMISSED.
