Report: The families separated by America’s immigration policies

A new report by the Applied Research Center shows how families can be broken apart by America’s immigration policies. Although both immigration law and child welfare policy aims to keep families together, that is often not how it works in practice for many families.

Instead, parents are often detained and deported while their children remain in foster care, often for extended periods. “In fiscal year 2011, the United States deported a record-breaking 397,000 people and detained nearly that many,” ARC writes. Read the report to learn more. And also check out this important webinar on foster care and immigration enforcement!

I am sick to death of these illegal aliens coming here illegally and sucking off of the American citizens. We Americans did not put you and your family in this situation. The parents are to be blamed for their own predicament. Why should the government do anything but deport them? It is not being hard haearted. Our government did not secure our borders EVER. We do not need these illegal immigrants. Not just those that invaded our country by coming across the border, but those that came here on visas and overstayed. Why doesn’t the government have a program in place to keep track of these people when they enter our country on a visa. Do you think a work visa work in the future if they don’t already have something in place after 27 years? They need to stop all immigration until we get these unwanted people out of here. There are more than 35 million illegals in this country right now not 11 million. Every other country in the world seems to have their borders secure and know who is in their country at all times. Also, stop those from other countries from coming here and having babies that get citizenship. If the parents are not citizens, the children should not be allowed to be citizens of the US.

Well i just wanted to respond to Sandra Nunez comment from February 2nd. By the sounds of your name is sounds like you are latin. Yes, you might be an American citizen but have you looked in front of the mirror and asked yourself where your parents came from? And anyways almost everyone from the US is an immigrant cus the only real AMericans in this nation are the Native Americans!!! They are our real Americans. I am a MExican American and I am proud to say it!! My parents migrated from MExico looking for a better future for myself and sisters. My sisters and I are all American Citizens and so are my parents. But we dont forget where we came from and are definitely proud of our parents for raising us the way they did.. I have friends that are undocumented but are hard working people. They are nurses with there Masters and have graduated from the best universities of this country. We should all be proud for those that want to be part of our country and that want to help in giving care such as in the healthcare and of course teaching!! So Sandra you should take your words back and think twice before opening your big mouth.

Another issue is that video gaming became one
of the all-time largest forms of entertainment for people of any
age. Kids engage in video games, plus adults do, too.
The actual XBox 360 is probably the favorite video games systems
for people who love to have a lot of games available to them, along with who like
to experiment with live with people all over the world.
Thank you for sharing your ideas.

I just want to respond to Sandra Nunez’s comment as well. First of all, everything you posted isn’t even relevant.. do you know your history at all? This land was Mexico! The anglos came and took that from us! Technically your the Alien! This IS NOT YOUR LAND! you’re an ignorant being, your last name comes from spanish decent, look in the mirror immigrant. “Aliens” don’t come here and “suck off of american citizens” (and it’s u.s. citizens honey remember there’s three different America’s [North, Central and Southern America in case you didn't know] these “aliens” do the work that ignorant lazy u.s. citizens don’t want to do. I’m sure you would never work in the fields or mow lawns for others just to get paid less than minimum wage and bust your ass for that small amount of money to barely make it by. You don’t know the sacrifice these people make for that opportunity… Many never see there families again, how would you feel if you never got to see your parents again just because you need money? Take some history classes maybe you’ll learn something.. btw i’m a U.S. citizen too

May I simply say what a relief to discover somebody that truly knows what they’re discussing over the internet. You definitely understand how to bring a problem to light and make it important. More and more people must read this and understand this side of the story. I was surprised that you’re
not more popular since you definitely possess the gift.

Neat post,
Is your theme custom made or did you download it from somewhere?
A theme like yours with a few simple adjustments would really make
my blog look more professional. Please let me know!
Cheers
