Speech #1100055635

I ask the Senator from Texas if he would consider the facts in this case and tell me how his amendment would apply to the case. In a family in Chicago. the father is a citizen of the United States and the four children that he and his wife have are all citizens of the United States. The mother is undocumented. The mother came into the United States illegally. She was married. raised a familyand her grandmother died in Mexico. She went back over the border and. when she tried to reenter the United States. produced identification that was false. They caught her. They deported her back to Mexico. but she made it back to the United States. She is now with her family in Chicago. It is a case that has had a lot of publicity because she was deported 2 days before Mothers Day. She has been allowed to return to the United States on a humanitarian waiver to be with her family. I would like to ask the Senator from Texas. how would you treat her under your amendment?
