Debra Dale Reporting

Attorneys representing more than 300 U.S. born children of undocumented immigrants, including 70 children from Chicago, have filed a national class action suit and are requesting an emergency hearing before the U.S. Supreme Court.

WBBM's Debra Dale has the story.

The approximately 300 plaintiffs are filing on behalf of approximately 4 million U.S. citizen children born to illegal immigrants.

The suit claims the deportation of undocumented immigrant parents violates the constitutional rights of their U.S. citizen children. The suit says the law subjects the citizen children to de facto deportation.

The suit asks for an end to deportation of undocumented immigrant parents of U.S. citizens.

The suit names President Bush, U.S. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, Secretary of Homeland Security among others.
