The truth is that if anyone is breaking up families — it is the illegal immigrants, themselves. Men from Mexico and Central America commonly come by themselves to the United States in search of work to support their families back home. By doing so, they are separating themselves from their wives and children.
If an illegal immigrant living apart from his family in the United States gets deported, the federal government actually reunites the family.

But Jessica Vaughan, director of policy studies for the Washington-based Center for Immigration Studies, told LifeZette that she knows of no country that forbids returning citizens from bringing their immediate family members with them.
"The responsible response would be to bring the child with you … It's not the immigration system that's breaking up the family," she said. "That's the choice the immigrant made by coming here illegally."
