I think we should stop arresting parents for anything then, because I think it’s stressful on them. The kids of a drug dealer or burgler or murderer all probably feel bad and have stress when their parent is arrested and goes to jail.

Study: Kids Hurt by ILLEGALS.

ILLEGAL Alien Child Rapists
ILLEGAL Alien Child Murderers
ILLEGAL Alien Drug Dealers
ILLEGAL Alien Disease Carriers
ILLEGAL Alien Drunk Drivers

Shall I continue?

These bleeding heart, assholes that write these stories need to have just one bad experience with these ILLEGAL Aliens. Just one. They would be crying like little girls if any of this happened to them.

Once again the parents who put these kids through this escape being held responsible. What is it these days that no one is accountable for their actions and the consequences of such actions. If the kids are traumatized then the parents are the reason,mot the law enforcement officers or the laws that the parents should have obeyed to begin with.

The study was commissioned by The National Council of La Raza . . .

For who are in the dark about this group, La Raza translates as The Race.

Think Mexican 'super race.'

Yeah, I see 'em standing around the street like real frickin' heros.

Their 'super race' urinates behind the Stop-N-Go.

"Those children were born in America, and we forgot about their rights during the raids, because they were left parentless," said Steve Joel, superintendent of Grand Island Public Schools, which encouraged parents to keep their children in school following a December raid at the Swift & Co. meatpacking plant.

A school superintendent should know better than to get in to the middle of a political firestorm.

Unless the school board is really behind him on this he may be looking for a job when his contract is up.

Then again if the school board backs him and the community is more sensible the school board members may have more evenings free for pinochle or bowling in the future.

"There are 5 million children with at least one undocumented parent," ... "There are a lot more children, if you will, that are at risk of consequences in the future if these work site raids are ongoing."

Blah, blah, blah. {yawn}

(Must get going w/the kiddos now; it's time for the (yay) CANDY!! {trick-or-treat})

Not to mention the fact that the companies mentioned seem to have no fear with respect to employing illegals; I truly believe that people who employ these workers should face jail time. If enforced vigorously, a great part of the incentive would be removed.

The study said that Congress should take more control over how immigration officials handle workplace raids, and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement should have a consistent policy about releasing arrested parents to minimize harm to their children.

Oh sure catch and release has worked so well in the past for illegals hasn’t it. They all ways show up for their deportation hearings as promised.

They all ways show up for their deportation hearings as promised.

"The kids are still here, but they are still suffering," Rollins said. "(Parents) don't know what they're going to do with those kids."

Then I guess La Raza should spend some of their money in Mexico and Guatemala telling parents not to come to the US because their children will be harmed when they get deported.

Personally I think substantial fines would be sufficient say $500 to 1000 per day per illegal worker. If a business owner is going to put his business in hock for years or have to sell if to pay fines if he gets caught he will think twice.

Perhaps jail for repeat offenders.

The reason I am not in favor of jail for first offenders is because I don’t want to close these businesses I just want them to obey the law.

Even the most heinous of criminals manage to pop out offspring...it is sheer stupidity to think that law enforcement should come to a grinding halt because someone can hold up a crying child....

The study was commissioned by The National Council of La Raza, a Washington-based Hispanic civil rights organization.

A self-defined racist organization conducts a "study" and the AP laps it up.

"Those children were born in America

That means nothing if their parents were foreign nationals trespassing here unlawfully. The 14th Amendment is clear--deport them all, parents and children all.

Right now, we got a lot of liberals angry in Central Texas, because some contracts were just renewed concerning a detention center (for non-Mexican illegals) where we lockup whole families, including little kids. They are pulling this crap about “how can you lock up little kids and infants”, and they have unfortunately brainwashed some of the religious groups in the area (going for the whole “What Would Jesus Do” angle probably). The fact is, those kids and their families are criminals, and they should be treated as such.

“Thousands of children whose parents are arrested in immigration raids in the U.S. face mental health issues including post-traumatic stress disorder, separation anxiety and depression, according to a new study released Wednesday by the Urban Institute. “

So what? They aren’t Americans, they don’t belong here and its not our problem.

I’m sick of these elitist liberal pseudointellectuals injecting non-relevant data into the discussion of how to eliminate invaders who violate our borders and how to punish those Americans who encourage and aid and abet them.
