The Washington Post reports that concerns about the fate of children of deported parents are adding an emotional pitch to the call for a Comprehensive Immigration Reform. According to a study by Human Impact Partners, in 2012 an estimated 150,000 U.S. citizen children had at least one illegal alien parent deported. Advocates are urging Congress to create a path to legalization for undocumented immigrants, allowing separated family members to be reunited and to prevent children from having to lose their parent(s) to deportation.
