There are thousands of true, heart-tugging immigration stories like this every year. It's possible to feel empathy for the plight of families like this without demanding open borders, or even exceptions to policy. As far as sympathy goes, however, that falls between sh*t and syphilis in the dictionary. I should add, parenthetically, that being sent back to the ROK is not exactly like being sent to a North Korean gulag. South Korea is a modern, industrialized country with ample employment opportunities. And bear in mind that after their son reaches his maturity, he can (assuming no change to existing immigration law) bring his parents back to the States in six years, legally this time.

Well, you just keep on being a supporter of this administration in particular and of a bungling bureaucracy in general. Your name is legion.

I think the point is that, while this good Christian woman was kept in prison these last many months, millions of thugs from Mexico and who knows how many terrorists poured over our borders with impunity.
