Send illegals back home

I would like to know why Maria Elena Salinas is given space in the Times in an effort to create sympathy for illegal aliens.

The party she describes, Ms. Villejos, is listed as having been in the U.S. illegally for over a decade. Obviously, she had no idea of becoming a legal citizen of the U.S., and is not an immigrant, but an illegal alien.

The only thing broken in our immigration system is that people like Ms. Villejos should be picked up and sent back to the country from which they came much sooner, if they make no effort at becoming legal residents.

If this was the case, there would be no conflict regarding children. It is obvious that illegal aliens attempt to remain in the U.S. using children for bait, while contributing little to the country.
