I detest the guy, and won't click on that video, but mothers have been deported and their US citizen kids were taken from them. In one instance, a mother was deported with her young US citizen child so as not to be separated. The US citizen husband filed a lawsuit to bring the child back.
The dad should have gone with his wife and kid. Who lets their wife and child leave the country and doesn’t go with them?
1. Men who need money to support a family
2. Men who would be targeted by criminals in their home country
I work in an immigration-adjacent space. I’ve visited shelters and aid orgs at our southern border (multiple times, various locations) as part of my day job. And I’ve participated in countless interdisciplinary trainings. Fwiw, a real world situation I observed in real time at the border was eye opening in terms of the Sophie’s Choice-esque dilemma. While shadowing an immigration lawyer talking to a young woman who was lucky enough to give birth here within 48 hours of entering the country, it was clear that the woman loved the baby daddy who crossed with her but was sitting in detention and likely to be fast-tracked for deportation…but once she was given the option to go back with him or stay, she barely hesitated. She said she planned to stay since her baby would have citizenship. She wanted guidance on how to navigate the system legally to best position herself for help and a shot at potentially helping the baby daddy join them later. There was zero chance he would ever be allowed here legally (and this was years ago under a different president). Even when she heard that, she still wanted to stay.
Can’t say I really blame her.
