Separate that family but not this one

On Monday, the Archdiocese of Atlanta called on the Obama administration to pass comprehensive immigration reform. Speaking on behalf of one million Georgia Catholics, Archbishop Wilton Gregory lauded the administration for issuing work permits and deportation reprieves to illegal immigrants. However, the Archbishop wants more. He used familiar arguments about keeping families together as his main reason to pass comprehensive immigration reform. Archbishop Gregory’s website page states, “we find it unacceptable that children are separated from their parents and families or begin each morning wondering if this is the last day they will see their mother or father or siblings.”

It is ironic that the Archbishop is so concerned about illegal alien family separations. Archbishop Gregory wants to protect those that cross America’s borders or overstay their visas in violation of our nation’s immigration laws. But to focus on one side of an argument and not address the other is simplistic. The inconvenient truth that the Archdiocese doesn’t mention is that the crime of illegal immigration separates families—not U.S. federal immigration laws.

One especially poignant case that demonstrates the need to enforce immigration law is Dustin Inman’s. Dustin was a 16-year old killed by an illegal alien drunk driver on Father’s Day weekend in 2000.

She makes a valid point Family separation is just one of the many unpersuasive arguments illegal immigration advocates use to defend aliens’ behavior. The Archbishop argues against family separation but ignores the plight of families whose loved ones have been killed or whose lives have been forever altered by criminal aliens.Never hear about how illegals causes family separation of Americans

Correct me if I am wrong but there is nothing stopping people from going back to South America and being reunited with their familes there.

Who is doing the separating?

I feel for them. I have the cure for their fears. The family, as a unit, should move back to the country of origin. No fears of separation, no fears of jail.

Amazing how you don’t fear the law when you aren’t breaking the law every day.
