Remember its the Criminal Aliens Relief Act of 2002. The Barney Frank-Jim Sensenbrenner title is downright PC and its not about keeping families together, as it implies.

I agree. It is actually about not deporting convicted felons released from jail. It also waives deportation for some regular aliens and allows deported foreigners to return.

The requirement is for "humanitarian or public benefit," but family unification appears to qualify.
