That somehow this factor alone is keeping people from coming forward. I think that is highly unsubstantiated and exaggerated and just not so. The illegal alien families are the ones who previously chose voluntarily to break up their own families. That is an unfortunate statement. but it is a true statement. And they did it for the best of reasons. to seek a job. But they knew when they came here they were coming illegally. So the illegal alien families were the ones who chose this themselves. to "break up their families." The United States of America did not do it. the immigration bill did not do it. they did it. They made their choice. Had they all migrated to the United States togetherand that could have been done. many had done thatthey would all then qualify for the legalization program together.
