Chicago, IL.-Today, we are again witness of the inhumanity of our broken immigration law. Rebecca Rojas today will leave her U.S. citizen husband and U.S. citizen children and return to Mexico, leaving the family she loves and the family that needs her.

What is her crime? Why has the Bush administration in its final days chosen to destroy this family and disrespect the democratic will of the people of Illinois?

Rebecca's crime is that she crossed a border, which no one protected, to work in a job that welcomed her labor and to live lawfully under a government that gladly accepted her taxes for almost two decades. Her crime is that she fell in love and built a faithful family and raised her children in the ways of the Lord.

She leaves today, under the threat of arrest and imprisonment, even though Congressman Gutierrez has introduced a private bill on her behalf.

What madness has caused I.C.E. to refuse to give her a stay until this private bill could have the time to be processed by the new congress, to refuse to let this family stay together?

Rebecca joins Elvira Arellano and hundreds of thousands of others who have been separated from their U.S. citizen families by the broken law.

To Rebecca, we can only say that we love you and that we cannot rest until the law is changed and you are back with your family.

To this administration we prepare to say goodbye and may God have mercy on your soul.

To President elect Barack Obama and the new Congress we say the time is now to honor what God has joined together. It is time to act to stop the raids, deportations and separation of families. It is time to stop breaking the hearts of children.
