“Very similar to the argument amnesty advocates use to argue against deportation of illegal alien parents: shouldn’t separate families.”
It’s worse than an “argument.” That the law that “Chappaquiddick Ted” passed way back when. Family togetherness is one of the main criteria for allowing immigration and citizenship. It was intended to, and caused, chain immigration.
But that’s not a law that applies to the deportation of illegals. It’s the sob story that’s constantly used to argue against deporting illegals with anchor baby children.
