I can't help putting myself in the shoes of a mother or father worrying 24/7 about being ripped from their life, their homes, their children, their friends, their entire self-identity and treated like a criminal whisked away in an ICE van to a jail-like facility with the sounds of my wailing spouse and children fading in the distance.
The rest of the family is free to go back to their home country with the person being deported. Actions have consequences. Break the law, suffer the consequences.

27. Hell NO. ANGER. Extreme ANGER at GOP for damaging American values
This is a country of immigrants. "Bring me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free".
One of our main values is to follow the laws of the land. Something illegal aliens don't do.
And yes, we are a country of immigrants, but we are a country of legal immigrants, not open to just anyone who wants to come here, not assimilate and then demand we give them everything and try to make this country like their homeland.
