Families For Freedom, an immigration advocacy group, in a June 26, 2007 section titled "Deportation 101: From Raids to Deportation," available on the Families for Freedom website stated:
“Every year, nearly 200,000 non-citizens —many with kids who are U.S. citizens— are deported and torn away from their families… resulting in more single parent households and psychological and financial hardship, or forcing their U.S. citizen children into deportation with them. These American children may have to start over in a country with a new language, fewer resources and an uncertain future. America’s immigration laws force American children to lose their parent, or their country. Mandatory deportation is a life sentence of exile. Such a severe ‘one size fits all’ punishment cannot be the basis of our immigration system.”
