I thought it was SEPARATING the children from their parents that traumatized them?

And immigrant advocates say changes in immigration law -- including tougher provisions enacted in 1996 -- leave little room for illegal immigrants to correct their status.
Seems to me that we're helping the to "correct" their status by sending them back to where they belong.

I guess brainless wonder Tyche Hendricks doesn’t understand that when parents break the law, it might not turn out being “happy time” for their children.

When someone commits a robbery and is convicted and sent to jail - that person is separated from his/her children (if any) for the time that person spends in jail.
When a person illegally crosses the border and trespasses against our laws and is caught - we should let them go because they have kids?
HUH?

Here's just another human face of illegal immigration: ,br> Donna Wilson did not think she was going to die last summer.
The 47-year-old Mt. Juliet woman was on her way to Vanderbilt University Medical Center, hoping to be declared free of the cancer that had invaded her body six years earlier.
With her husband, Sean, at the wheel of their silver Buick, the couple drove along Old Hickory Boulevard. Headed their way was a multiple DUI offender, Gustavo Garcia Reyes, with a blood-alcohol content of 0.34 percent, more than four times Tennessee's legal limit.
The head-on collision with Reyes killed the Wilsons.
On Monday, Gustavo Garcia Reyes, 29, pleaded guilty to two counts of aggravated vehicular homicide, reckless aggravated assault by a motor vehicle and evading arrest with risk to other motorists. He received a 25-year sentence and will have to serve 30 percent of it, or about 7½ years, before he's eligible for parole.
"What she thought would be a new day of beginnings was the last day of her life," Heather Steffek said as she sat in a witness seat beside a picture of her parents. "She did make it to Vanderbilt that day, but in the back of an ambulance clinging to her life. And her beloved husband, Sean, he lay dead in their car on Old Hickory Boulevard."
Reyes' case generated a firestorm of hostility after authorities revealed he was a Mexican in the country illegally, had been deported in the past and had been arrested on at least 14 different occasions, including for numerous drunken-driving charges. He has three DUI convictions.

It is interesting that the author of this article is a direct decendant of the Forbes family that made its billions in the slave trade and later the opium trade.
BTW, the old Boston Forbes family is not related to the nouveau Forbes of magazine fame.

I’d like to see anecdotal articles on how the lives of American construction workers were turned upside down when they were replaced by two illegals because the contractor could hire them for less.

You can’t establish POLICY based on anecdotes. There will always be sob stories, VALID sob stories. Policy-making requires looking at the much bigger picture, which, unfortunately, doesn’t get the flashy headlies. Make and enforce the policy and THEN include tightly structured loop-holes.

Mental health experts say the raids are traumatizing children. Legal scholars and public officials are raising constitutional questions about the way the raids are carried out and about their impact on communities as a whole.
Oh I see, so it is INS fault these people are breaking the law. Maybe we shouldnt arrest the thieves and rapists either. It may upset their little kids too. Brilliant!
To: SmithL
If they were to go back to Mexico they would not be arrested. What’s so hard to understand about that. Illegal alien means illegal alien, i.e. you get arrested.

All they have to do is take the whole family back to Mexico before anyone in the family gets arrested.

This whining elicts no sympathy from me.
I say make it real hot for illegals. If we make it hot enough they will self-deport.
