Two-thirds of the offenders had
other family members--a spouse or others--they were trying to get back
to. So, in addition to the people who are trying to enter legally, this
bill massively increases penalties on people who are trying to get back
to their families, many of whom are U.S. citizens. The desperation of these broken families is a direct result of our
failed immigration policy. Hundreds of thousands of immigrant parents
have been deported over the years, leaving their U.S. citizen children
as orphans in the United States. These parents--and I understand it--
are trying to get back to their kids.
