It is sad, but the consequences of illegal immigration has split apart families. I hope the children are reunited with their parents, regardless of the immigration outcome.

"It's been a widespread humanitarian crisis here in New Bedford."

Are the kids being fed, have they clothes, medicines if needed? Yes? Then it's not a humanitarian crisis. Sorry to sound harsh, but reunite them with mommy and daddy on the plane or boats home to wherever they came from. This is the chance you take when you arrive illegally.

Where is anyone blaming the military? This businessman decided to maximize his profits by hiring illegal aliens. Without knowing the actual financial situation, I'm still willing to wager this businessman used cheap illegal alien labor to under bid competing U.S. companies that did not use illegals for a military contract.

It will be interesting to see what Kennedy, Kerry and Barney Frank say about this.

Maybe these parents should think of this possibility BEFORE these bring their children into our country illegally.

On the plus side, all the overtime made by the caregivers will surely be a boost to the local economy.

If what I just wrote made you sad or angry,
it was probably just a joke.

Let the White House and all of Washington solve the problem -- THEY CREATED IT, and REFUSE to do anything about it.

But they're not cheap. They were making more than the new minimum wage that Kennedy wants.

Barney Frank will have little to say since he is receiving donations from these 'gentlemen'.

Wonder when we will hear the cry to return the campaign donations from the MSM?

Why does no one ever blame the illegals for doing this to their children?

Political correctness.

I'd bet the majority of these children were born on US soil, at taxpayer's expense, and are citizens by law.

Headline should read... "Immigration laws enforced, illegals and their lawbreaking employers hit hardest"..
When the facts don't support your position, tug on the heart strings "What About The Children of Lawbreaking Illegal Aliens?"

Children born in the USA should not be punished for the crimes of their parents. I say we give the illegal parents a choice when they are deported. They can take their children with them and the children can return to the USA when they reach age 18, or they can leave the children here in the custody of legal family members, or the children can be put up for adoption with caring family in the USA.
