    US Deports 46,000 Parents With Citizen Kids in Just 6 Month

    U.S. Deports 46K Parents With Citizen Kids in Just Six Months

    by Seth Freed Wessler

    Between January and June of 2011, the United States carried out more than 46,000 deportations of the parents of U.S.-citizen children, according to previously unreleased federal data obtained by Colorlines.com’s publisher, the Applied Research Center. The figures reflect a striking increase in the rate of removals of parents and raise serious concerns about the impact of these deportations on children, many of whom are left behind.

    Congress demanded two years ago that the Department of Homeland Security begin to compile this data by July 2010, but it had not been made available to the public. The Applied Research Center obtained it through a Freedom of Information Act request.

    The data on parental deportations does not reveal how many children each of these parents had, or whether their children remained in the U.S. or left with their mothers and fathers. However, the Applied Research Center has also found a disturbing number of children languishing in foster care and separated from their parents for long periods. After a year-long national investigation, we estimate there are at least 5,100 children in foster care who face barriers to family reunification because their mother or father is detained or deported. That number could reach as high as 15,000 in the next five years, at the current rate of growth.

    The rising number of parental deportations has corresponded with an overall increase in immigration enforcement under the Obama administration; in fiscal year 2011, a record 397,000 people were deported. Yet parental deportation has also increased as a proportion of all removals. Between 1998 and 2007, the last period for which similar data is available, approximately 8 percent of almost 2.2 million removals were parents of U.S.-citizen children. The new data, released to the Applied Research Center in September, reveals that more than 22 percent of all people deported in the first half of this year were parents of citizen kids.


    If rates of parental deportation remain steady in the year to come, the country will remove about as many parents in just two years as it did in the ten-year period ICE tracked previously. The number of children of non-citizens placed in the U.S. child welfare system will no doubt shoot up as well. Already, according to our research, one in 16 kids in Los Angeles’ child welfare system are the children of detained or deported parents. Certain jurisdictions on the U.S.-Mexico border and at least one Florida county included in our field research had even higher rates.

    The Obama administration has accepted the deportation of parents as an acceptable consequence of its immigration enforcement policy. In an interview aired on PBS’ “Frontlineâ€

    The parents should have left with the kids b/4 ICE got in the picture

    This is the general practice worldwide and the children are permitted to apply for re-entry. They are not used as tools to permit parents de facto permanent residence.

    These 'parents' don't love their children enough to to keep them with them?

    Why is this?

    When illegal alien parents are being deported they can't keep their citizen kids with them because then I.C.E. would then be accused of deporting U.S. citizen kids. If they want their kids returned to them in their home country they must make arrangement to have the kids brought to them, usually by a relative or appointed guardian.

    This is gaming the system to the max. The core issue here is anchor babies and everyone knows it. These children should never been granted citizenship in the first place. If the anchor babies had no citizenship, this would not even be an issue.

    As for I.C.E. being 'accused' of deporting U.S. citizen kids, this is nothing more than further system gaming, this time by amnesty proponents indside the government using these children as political fodder to push amnesty for their (illegal) parents who have already broken the law.

    Until granting automatic citizenship to illegal alien anchor babies is changed, this will go on forever, and everyone knows it.

    The current laws are so messed up that illegal alien parents that want to take their citizen kids back to their home country with them can't because their kids are taken from them and put into foster care in the U.S. at taxpayer expense.

    We need to keep deporting the parents and kids with them. Enough already with the anchor baby crap. There should never have been any anchor babies in the first place. "NO CHILD LEFT BEHIND" Deport the parents and make them take the kids with them.

    The smarter parents rush to the Post Office and apply for U.S. Passports for their children and leave voluntarily. When the children turn 18, they can re-enter the U.S using their passports and legally apply for their parents permanent resident status. I no longer have anything against these people because I now see that they didn't cause their demise all by themselves. We left the backdoor open, provided impunity for the misuse of SSNs, provide jobs, medical care, driving privileges, right to assemble, right to protest, right to attend K-12, right to go to college, financial aid, translations, etc., in addition to being 'in bed' with Mexico for trade and who knows what.
    So, I hope they can work things out and wish their families well, at least the ones not involved in violent crimes, gangs, drugs, rapes and DUI's.
    Maybe with all these deportations the country will be able to go back to what it used to be prior to 1986 and return to a balanced quota system and emphasis on LEGAL immigration again.
