U.S. citizen child recovering from brain cancer deported to Mexico

  ON top of deporting a US citizen recovering from brain cancer apparently the choice is to go ... or possibly lose your kid... >The Trump administration’s border czar, Tom Homan, has said “families can be deported together” regardless of status. Homan said it would be up to the parents to decide whether to depart the U.S. together or leave their children behind. >But undocumented parents of U.S.-born children, if picked up by immigration authorities, face the risk of losing custody of their children. Without a power-of-attorney document or a guardianship outlining who will take care of the children left behind, the children go into the U.S. foster care system, making it harder for the parents to regain custody of their children in the future.

  When your population doesn't make enough kids, steal from neighbors. Look at what Russia did with Ukrainian babies.
