I had to go back to the article to check the title. Yes, they really said “well-respected.”

From the article:

“He added that, as a judge, he understood why he had to enforce the order but, as a citizen, he struggled to see the merits of breaking up a family.

“’He will be returned to Mexico, having spent 28 years successfully building a life and family in this country,’ Reinhardt said. ‘The government forces us to participate in ripping apart a family.’”

If they love their husband/dad, why don’t they go with him?

I don’t care how “well-respected” this guy was or how “successfully” he built a “life and family” in this country.

He’s a common thief.

The US should never have allowed citizenship for the children of illegals. The entire family should be deported because they harbored the illegal.

A Hawaiian judge forced to uphold the law? How unusual. Of course he took the opportunity to wring his hands and slobber over the illegal alien. Boo, hoo, hoo!

If he is so respected after all that time, why didn’t he bother to become a citizen legally?
