Esteban Torres was 3 years old when his father was sent back to Mexico by U.S. immigration authorities.
"One day, my father didn't come home," remembers Torres, who lived with his family in a mining camp in Arizona at the time. "My brother and I were left without a father. We never saw him again."
Torres, 85, who went on to become a congressman representing the Pico Rivera area, was part of a generation of people whose lives were changed dramatically by large-scale deportation campaigns during the 1930s, '40s and '50s in which millions of Mexican nationals were rounded up and sent across the border on buses, trains and ships.

Blame your father and mother.
Get them the hell out of my country and back to their own country.
My God, imagine if we hadn’t deported the millions back then?
” We never saw him again “
Happens more often with criminals than other folks.
Obviously, it is a moral imperative that we deconstruct the nation for the convenience of illegals. We don’t want to do anything as racist as to enforce laws to protect ourselves.
Sob stories like this completely outweigh the slaughter of thousands of Americans by illegals.
I don’t recall hearing from Trump that this was his model for deportation.
When the others said it can’t be done. Trump said it had already been done. That doesn’t mean that this is his model.
We put Jap US Citizens in concentration camps in WWII. We are speaking here of ILLEGAL immigrants. Should be no problem tossing them out.
Yes, enforcing laws has a down side for people breaking them. Perhaps people shouldn't break laws?
“dark” model?
That’s racist!
That’s a trigger and I need a safe room!!!
He never saw his Father again?
So, getting in a car and driving a few hours South is a big burden to see El Padre?
We need some muscle over here!
The sob stories will be never-ending if we do elect anyone who tries to retain the rule of law and the country.
Illegal aliens know they are illegal aliens.
They knew the risks of breakng into another country.
They should be subject to the law, regardless.
Everyone else is.
Somehow, the media can find victims of someone enforcing the law....but CANNOT find ANYONE who is a victim of Obamacare.
You know what I like about this article? Read the comments at the end of the page at the link. I figured in a PC/Mexican area like Los Angeles, they would be supportive of an article like this but no.
I know of several kids that lived without their fathers and a few who lost their mothers. Their parents were missing from the home because they were in prison. Does this mean The Lost Angeles Times thinks all the parents in jail be released?
But then again, I also know of kids missing their parents and even their children because they were killed by illegals.
Correct, but Bush’s argument is bogus from the get-go. If it were true, any immigration law would be pragmatically (Carson’s term) unenforceable.
I'll bet they weren't given a proper safe space either..
Mexico does THE EXACT SAME THING to Guatemalans and Hondurans who enter illegally.
