La Raza wants illegals with children released

Carolyn Hileman* | November 3, 2007 

‘Report takes bizarre position ICE responsible for parents’ decisions’

A new report from the Hispanic civil rights group National Council of La Raza and the Urban Institute is calling for the release of any illegal aliens who are arrested, if they happen to be parents.

“ICE should develop a consistent policy for release of parents arrested in enforcement operations,” said the report. “Single parents and primary caregivers of young children should be released early enough in the day so that school children and children in child care to not experience disruptions in care; they should not be held overnight. Parents should be released quickly even when there are two parents in the home because the second parent often cannot function alone.”

It was just one of the recommendations in the document prepared for La Raza, the nation’s largest Hispanic advocacy group. However, the critique of federal workplace raids seeking illegal aliens fails to note an important factor, according to an advocate for legal immigration.

“Those children are in that unfortunate situation because of the poor decisions of the parents,” William Gheen, chief of Americans for Legal Immigration, told WND.

“And the government will send in social services, make sure those children are picked up by caring people, medically checked and receive medical and nutritional assistance,” he said. “It’s one of the costs of deporting illegal aliens, and it applies to anyone in police custody.

“I doubt you get that kind of treatment in Mexico,” he said.
