Americans, who support deportation as the only method to punish undocumented immigrants for breaking the laws, should feel ashamed of the outcomes it has on these families. I as an American citizen feel a terrible weight in my conscience knowing that this child is suffering because of our American laws. This child seems to be proud to be an American because he carries in his mouth our US flag. Now doesn't that bother you to know that although his parents are being taken away from him because of us the Americans, he still wants to be one. The United States is known for its American dream and its unity, therefore it should regulate its laws to do so.
The kid has a sign both in English and in Spanish saying "Don't leave me alone" is a message he is trying to send out to million of children that are going through the same situation and to billions of Americans that have no sympathy for illegal immigrants families. Is disappointing to know that these kids are raised with the American customs and yet are not considered worthy enough to have a happy and united family. I really don’t believe that Americans that are parents would like their children to suffer in the same way these legal US born children with illegal parents are suffering. Is that the example we are trying to transmit to our present and future generation!
