I do not know this family but my sister does. This is a sad story. I could see if he was 25 years old when he came over that he should be held accountable but he was a 5 year old kid that had to follow his mother. I do know another couple that went through this and her husband was home in 18 months. The attorney information for that case has been given to this family so please pray, pray that this daughter will have her daddy back, pray that this wife will have her husband back, pray that it will not take 10 years to return to normal for this family. God is working and will not let this family down, his Will is being done and I feel confident that it will be a LOT sooner than 10 years. Kathleen, keep your chin up you will get your best friend back one day and it will be wonderful.

Nunya, do you know this couple personally? Do you know Cesar, and everything he's been through? I know him, and your comments are way off base. I suggest if you don't know everything, you keep your ignorant comments to yourself.

AFirst of all, she cannot "just go there with him". This Mexico wecare talking about, not Canada. Drug cartels down there are under the misconception tht all Americans are rich. She and her new baby girl would be in danger of kidnapping and horrible things at the hand if these cartels. I know missionaries who had to come home to the states because of this. U really expect them to move there? Wld u put ur wife, daughter, sister in tht position? I think not!!! Living in the states contributing to his community, whether "legal" or not is better than these lazy good for nothing Americans sitting around their in their gov. Housing and getting government checks and eating food bought by tax payers. Who is the real criminal here? Someone who works to provide for his family and gives back to his community or the one sitting on there butt supported by the tax payers and the government? The Bible says if a man doesn't work, he doesn't eat. Just saying.

We need to be very clear here about American immigration law. The people supporting a strict interpretation of American immigration law want exactly what has occurred to Cesar to happen to everyone in his case situation. They really don't give a care who the individual people are, what their lives and/or family situations are, when the law was broken, the fact that kids like Cesar are "American" in every sense of the word except legal status. People in favor of strict enforcement WANT individuals and families PUNISHED this way, punished hard, punished fast, punished for not just ten years, really -- forever. They want them gone forever from America with NO chance to return. And especially, by using the 10 year rule, they want to make it virtually impossible for someone wanting to do things right like Cesar to ever become a citizen -- they WANT someone to "pay" for the illegal immigration "crime" committed by the child's parents in bringing the kid in illegally, and if the kid is the one to pay, that's exactly what the strict enforcers WANT to happen. They WANT the families, the wives and children of these "horrible illegals" to be deported also, because the next generation of children are these "horrible" anchor babies that are "taking things away" from natural born American children. They want the laws changed so no child would ever be entitled to American citizenship just by being born here. The problem with that is -- how many generations should we go back saying the 1st generation child is illegal? Two generations? Three generations? How many families have grandparents/great-grandparents who were from other countries and entered America someplace or sometime not through Ellis Island-type circumstances? Change the laws to allow for a 1 year citizenship route for all immigrants having grown up in the USA wanting it. They're Americans already just without the birth certificate. If Obama can be Pres without a legit cert - what's different?

You two above are correct. In the meantime, she could go there to be with him and fight it out during the wait. Our laws here make no sense at all. However, the option of going there is viable to a point. The violence is reason enough to want to be here.

I think people are ignoring the old law that the government is destroying. You marry an American Citizen you ARE an American Citizen. He's not committed some henious crime. Unless you consider chasing his version of the American dream a crime now. I am sure if he was Cuban being deported back to Cuba Rubio would be up in arms then about it. Since this story made news I am sure something should happen for them. Their story made the news so it will get addressed. To bad things like Desert storm veterans made sick and their country refusing to give them a fair an impartial jury trial is not news.

Do I think that people should illegally cross the broder, NO. However, his mother brought him here when he was young, and now he is trying to correct the mistake. He is married to wonderful woman and has a beautiful daughter. Before everyone say's he was taking someones job rewatch the story and you will see that he worked as a missonary (a job that no one wants to do.) Please be consider if this was your children's family, would you feel the same way?
