Parting is such sweet sorrow

Parting is such sweet sorrow

Apparently the party of family values loves to tear families apart. I would make this an anti-Republican post but Democrats has done absolutely nothing to ease the plight of undocumented workers in this country. In fact, hating Mexicans and the cheap labor (read: low prices) they provide is a bi-partisan pursuit in Missouri and across the Nation.

After calling the United States home for 14 years, Tuesday is the day a teenage girl and her immigrant parents in Missouri were supposed to be deported back to their native Costa Rica.

But late last week, U.S. immigration officials gave the family some mixed news: The teen can stay, but her parents have to go.

Marvin and Marina Gonzalez, and daughter Marie, moved to the U.S. from Costa Rica on six-month visas in 1991 and stayed, believing that, if they were good citizens, they'd become real citizens in seven years. But that was incorrect and, when it was discovered that the family was living here illegally, they were told they'd have to leave.
