It was three years ago, early morning, when Elizabeth Perez returned to her Cleveland home from the doctor’s office with good news to tell her husband, Marcos: She was pregnant with their second child.
For several moments, they celebrated with kisses, hugs, and tears of joy. Mr. Perez headed to work. A few minutes later, he was pulled over for a traffic-stop violation. Less than a month later, he was deported to Mexico City.
“Noooooo!” Mrs. Perez wailed into the phone receiver when immigration authorities called to inform her that her husband had been apprehended.
Mr. Perez would not be at his wife’s side when she gave birth to Marcos Antonio Perez. He would not be there to watch his eldest son, Ignacio Pele Perez, celebrate his second and third birthdays.
“I never feel such pain,” Mr. Perez said to The Blade in a telephone interview from his home in Mexico.
His words were interrupted by the sound of him sobbing uncontrollably.
“Oh, Jesus, it’s terrible. I want to be with my children. I want to be with my wife.”
The Perezes are not alone in their pain. More than 200,000 immigrant families have been torn apart during the past two years in the United States, according to a recent congressional report.
Even as a bipartisan group of senators wraps up work on a comprehensive reform bill that is expected to include a pathway to citizenship for millions of illegal immigrants living in the United States, it may be too late for many families who’ve already lost loved ones to deportation.

“But now I feel like this isn't fair — I have to wait at least 10 years before I can be with my husband again. It does frustrate me.
“I feel betrayed,” she said. “I don’t like my country very much right now.".. Women marry illegal aliens and then think their husbands are suppose to never be deported. She served in the military now she thinks her love life should be taken into account, for she was in the military.How have any of you ever known of any in mexico when illegals are asked for id's with no id off to jail.There are no protests from mexicans,when people in the country illegally get deported and having a family illegally in mexico, I never seen anybody staging protests about breaking up families over there. Let an illegal from mexico get arrested here and deported and you see illegals demanding justice to halt the person from being deported.They certainly are 100% for deporting illegals in their own country.Mexicans are very self centered ,selfish people, whom only care for their own .I never see anyone in mexico protest mexico's immigration laws.
Why do people think it is okay to break the law without consequences?
My sympathies are with the Americans who with their money and time have to support those who entered the country illegally, and also with the American victims of the crimes illegals commit.
“Why do people think it is okay to break the law without consequences?”
Because so many politicians do? Also, what in their younger life has consequences?
If they want a nation with badly enforced laws go to mexico where they can be accommodated.
I stated before that we need to adopt the same/parallel immigration laws as Mexico and call it "the Mexican style immigration law". What is La Raza going to say?
Great. Hear come the sob stories to support The Great Comprehensive Immigration Scam.
It they all go home, they won’t be broken apart.
Then follow her back to Mexico.
“this isn’t fair”
Waaaahhhhh.....
Waaa waaaa waaa. Waaa waaaa waaa. Waaaaaa waaaa waaa wa. Oh waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa waaa waaa waaaa.
Criminals’ families are often torn apart.
Whaa.
She did her part. She got knocked up on this side of the border.
(Who ya gonna believe, the Left, or your own lyin' eyes?)
Drunk driving breaks up families too. Maybe we should legalize that.
Barely 1% of the problem, but a good start.
she's free to take the kids and go with him, nothing stopping her...
Is someone stopping her from returning to Mexico to rejoin her husband?
