OK, I have to disagree with the posters so far. Taking a man’s children away from him, and not allowing him to claim them “just because he’s in Mexico,” (according to the story) is (as the story also points out) “wasteful, senseless and cruel.”
Maybe Montes should be deported (certainly sounds like it). Maybe there’s more to the story. But keeping a man’s children from him, assuming there is no child abuse ... that’s interfering with one of the basic human relationships. And for what? Any valid reason at all? There certainly does not seem to be.
“And for what? Any valid reason at all?”
Agreed that a father or mother should be able to keep his children. I imagine (I didn’t read the article in detail) though that if the kid’s were born in the U.S., then the gov’t. probably has some laws about minors being sent to another country. (Although I suppose if I wanted to move to Mexico with my family the gov’t. could care less.)
One way around it is to not so much change the rules on Deportation - but change the rules on Citizenship and the “anchor baby” thing.
And maybe if my aunt had a mustache she’d be my uncle. Tough sh!t for the illegals and their kids. As every other American, I’m sick of this bs. You break the law, you pay for it.
