Study finds education gap for illegal Mexican migrants’ children - Los Angeles Times

I've known one illegal immigrant; she is my friend's mother. She was recently sent back to Mexico, which didn't seem right. It changed my views on deportation. Families shouldn't be torn apart. Hard working folks should be able to become citizens if they're already here.

I think the immigrants who already have a family should be able to keep leaving in the U.S. Deporting them may not be the right way of solving the problem. My dad's friend went to live to the U.S. and he is doing great. In the U.S. you earn twice as much money as in Mexico.
