US Immigration Policy is Clearly Botched
CNN has a video story of an Armenian family who is being deported from the US.
People get deported every day. But, there are two things about this story that seem absurd.
First, the family has been here for 15 years without a problem.
Second, the family has a 13-year-old daughter who -- you guessed it -- was born in the US and, therefore, is a US citizen. And because she wasn't born in Armenia, the US government won't pay for her plane ticket to Armenia so she can stay with her family. So, the family has to leave the 13-year-old here in the US by herself.
Help me understand, folks. Is this situation the result of "compassionate conservatism" or is it due to the administration's "family values?"
