This article describes a situation where two sons of a man who qualified for legalization were recently deported to Mexico even though the sons apparently could have qualified for protection for deportation under the INS family policy. There is a dispute about whether the INS attempted to notify the father before summarily deporting his sons. However. this incident and another referred to in the article regarding INS efforts to deport an 8yearold daughter of a Peruvian woman who qualified for legalization. demonstrate the need for a more humane and uniform national policy with regard to these families. The fact is that there are many families who find themselves in the situation where one or more members of their family could not legalize their status in this country under the legalization programs. and who are also afraid to invoke the INS family policy because of the uncertainty regarding the outcome.
