Spouse Immigration and Family Separation

May 14th, 2009 by admin

I heard about a story on the news a few years ago about a mom who was not a USA citizen, but had a child who was born here and she was being deported. She was being separated from her child and it was very traumatizing for them. My heart just broke for them. How could a government enforce rules that will tear a child from it’s mother? Yes, I know the situation needed to be addressed but there had to be another way. Spouse Imigration is such a stressful event for many people. I agree that immigrants need to follow rules and file necessary paperwork, but we need to use common sense when enforcing it as well.
