PHOENIX, Arizona — Katherine Figueroa was playing outside her home Saturday morning when she overheard the news coming from a nearby TV. The Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office had just raided the car wash where her father and mother worked.

She rushed to see her dad’s image on television. His expression looked worried, his hands were tied with plastic cuffs.

Her eyes filled with tears, the 9-year-old made a plea to President Barack Obama to return her parents home in a video produced by Arizona activists and reports on the Univision network.

“I want my parents back, is not fair for me to be alone,â€

the consequences of having the 14th amendment the way it is. We need to fix that and to also unite this family with its sob story-anchor baby.........in Mexico.

The consequences for workers are life changing. Family separation and deportation with a felony on their record are the norm.

Illegal aliens are aware of what happens when they are caught. They will be deported along with their family. Every country has its laws.

Our country's lawmakers have gotten so relaxed about ENFORCING our laws and that keeps illegal aliens piling up all over the place. Homeland Janet needs to do her job. Finish the fence, make E-Verify permanent, and ENFORCE OUR LAWS.

The consequences for workers are life changing. Family separation and deportation with a felony on their record are the norm.

Shoulda thought of that before you sneeked across the border.

Following is the comment I posted on the website:

Valeria Fernández laments the anchor baby's predicament as not being any fault of their own. Their predicament, while unfair and unjust, is not the doing of the American people. Illegal immigrants did this to themselves, and should be held responsible for the outcome their deliberate decision to break our laws.

What makes this so abominable is that these actions were undertaken with cool calculation and with no regard whatsoever for the consequences their children would have to suffer. They did this in droves in order to whip out the race card when we finally took notice. They have their children on American soil because they believe it garners them American citizenship (it doesn’t). They did this the way they did this because when they did it the last time, we let it slide. Shame on us and shame on them!

To all illegal immigrant criminal offenders, I care as much for what your children will suffer, as you did for my children and grandchildren and what they will have to endure as a result of the devastation you have so callously wrought on my country and my fellow Americans.

Call me heartless and cruel if you like, I DON’T CARE!!! It doesn’t matter one bit to me what you think. It does, however, matter very much to me what my selfless ancestors think, and what kind of nation I leave to my offspring. I and my fellow Americans are determined that it be better for our descendants when we hand it over than it was for us when we inherited it from our ancestors. That is the American way.

So you’ll all have to go back where you came from and do the honorable thing you should have done in the first place, which is to make things right in your own country for the sake of yourselves and your fellow (fill in the blank) citizens. Sounds daunting, doesn’t it? It will take a hell of a lot of hard work, but then again you’re such hard workers, aren’t you?

No go home and build your own nation. As for what you’ve done here, I and mine have had just about enough!
