Deportations and the myth of 'tearing families apart'

In the wake of this month's murder of a San Francisco woman by an illegal alien deported five times, it's time to take a closer look at the bogus argument pushed by illegal aliens and their advocates and perpetuated by a Pavlovian media that deportations are "tearing families apart."

Missing from this deliberate attempt to further mislead a public long ago dumbed down by the media's "coverage" of immigration is this fact: Any family separations that result when one or more members of the family is deported cannot be blamed on the federal government; the entire blame rests with those who willingly entered this country illlegally or deliberately overstayed their visas.

Another fact deliberately ignored is that entire families are free to leave the country together with deportees.

But when an American is killed by an illegal alien, that citizen is gone forever and the family will never again be whole. That is the only acceptable definition of a family being torn apart by this nation's greed-driven and politically motivated immigration policy.
