Separated Families: Naivety or Duplicity?

We were assailed again today with an article in the Washington Post bemoaning the plight of the illegal aliens who will not be able to freely visit their separated families abroad even though they may be gaining protection against deportation and work permits thanks to President Obama’s constitutional overreach of executive authority. This is a theme that is constantly sounded by the defenders of illegal aliens in one form or another.
- We must not deport illegal aliens if they have U.S.-born children because that would separate families.
- The supposedly unaccompanied minors coming illegally into the country must be placed with their parents already here to preserve family unity.
- Illegal aliens should have the freedom to travel back to the home country for the illegal aliens to visit family members left behind.
