Thread: Deportations Taking Toll On Families

[quote]In 1996, Congress toughened immigration laws making immigrants, legal and illegal, deportable according to an expanded list of “aggravated felonies.â€

That is until they finally end up killing innocent people, then they make excuses for why they never had them deported after their any one of their previous 19 prior offenses.

This brings to mind the story about one who killed his parents and then pleaded for mercy because he was an orphan.

An estimated 1.6 million children and spouses have been separated from family members forced to leave the country under toughened 1996 immigration laws, a human rights group said Wednesday.

The separations have taken a toll on families who have sold homes, lost jobs, lost businesses or been thrown into financial turmoil, Human Rights Watch said in a new report.

The widespread impact on American families has been truly devastating, said Alison Parker, a senior researcher with Human Rights Watch.

Yes, AMERICAN families have been torn apart when their loved ones were killed by illegal drunk drivers, etc, but that's not what she means. How dare she refer to these illegal immigrants as AMERICAN!!!

I do not see where the problem is unless it is that they want to be anchored to America. But the same could be said when they left families back in Mexico for many years and they left jobs also.
Nothing is ever said about the families left in Mexico except that we should bring them HERE so they can be one happy family as an expense to the taxpayer.

Bringing the families from Mexico would just not be do-able. It is a "traditional Mexican family value" for both the men and women to have new families here and the "family" left behind in Mexico can just hold their hand on their as**s and wait.

I agree, THEY (the illegals) made the decision to break our laws and enter our country illegally, & THEY should now accept the consequences of their actions like adults and stop whining.

And there are many tolls on US families, one of which is that many of our public schools are being destroyed. Would you want your kid sitting in a room full of kids who don't even speak English, whose parents don't value education, much less have any grasp on our cultural values, history, and mores. What about the toll on US middle class families who can't afford 20-30k a year for private schools?!

I'm so sick of the dinosaur MSM not reporting on this.
