No reason to deport hardworking parents

Not even dogs like to get separated from their puppies. Why is it that Americans are insensitive and like to separate families from their children?

Many illegal families come to the U.S. with the dream of providing their families a better life, most of these families are working poor who work for minimum wage just to pass by a days living.

It doesn't matter where they come from but they all have one similarity; their own country doesn't provide sufficient work for them to live the life they wish to provide their children. The "alien" does come here illegally, but it's wrong to separate them and leave their children here with out a mom or a dad to support them.

What's a mother supposed to do from their homeland to support their children miles away when in the first place she fleed because she wasn't making it?

Does America not care about the feelings of those many children who one day have their family united and the other they are basically orphans?

Deporting illegal gang members, criminals, murderers is understandable, and maybe desirable to clean up the United States; but not families who are with the wish to have a better life and are here to work.
