Families Separated

This short video has big numbers. Is suprising how many illegal immigrants the Homeland of Security office has described as being deported. But the worst part is that these undocumented have US children. Agencies spoke women Barbara Gonzalez states "Parenthood does not excemt any person from complying with the nations law, including immigration law". Gonzalez ones again demonstates the biased and selfish side of the Americans. I believe that they wouldn't like to be told that if they were in the illegal parents position. Instead of trying to solve these issues, by this quote it tells me that Americans just say "well this is the law so deal with it" They don't want to waste there time creating a new and better immigration reform.

On the contrary Representative Jose Serrano of New York quotes "I am saddened, but not surprised to learn that our government, in its harsh anti-immigrant stance, has split hundreds of thousands of families apart over the pass decade" This quote shows that Serrano looks at the ethical side of the issue. He cares about family unity, which makes me think that he was raised in a very united family. I agree with Serrano in that it is not suprissing. The government is desperate to limit illegal immigrants, that they will do anything even separate families to accomplish their goal. This makes me feel sad of being part of such a hert wrenching government!

Estimate to Deport illegal Immigrants

In a a news blog published in the New York Times by Mike Nizza, one of my many concerns was answered. About how much does it caused to deport an illegal immigrant?

Deportation is not only having a negative impact on children it also impacts the US economy.Deportation of illegal immigrants is very expensive for the US economy.

Senator Susan M. Collins, Republican, of Maine, was told by Julie L. Myers, chief of Immigrations and Customs Enforcement that the cost of trying to locate, detain and deport all of the 12 million people who are here illegally is minimum $94 billion.
Congress’s budget is $205 billion for everything in the US, which requires them to cut the budgets of other programs.These are the types of information the government needs to take into consideration before making any immigration reform or passing any new laws.
Illegal immigrants need to be punish for breaking the laws but there must be a more affordable method that does not deal with separating families and cutting useful programs, such as proving more financial support for health care and education.
