Immigrants fearing deportation make plans for kids

[Contrary1]

Sen. Scott Beason - "...such concerns weren't raised when legislators were considering the bill".

Sure thing, Scott. Like that would have made a difference to you and your fellow compassionate Conservative pigs. The only time Repubs are concerned about children is before they are born. I wonder how these assholes can sleep at night.

They're signing documents allowing others to care for their children if needed, assistance groups say

"BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — Terrified by Alabama's strict new immigration crackdown, parents living in the state illegally say they are doing something that was unthinkable just days ago — asking friends, relatives, co-workers and acquaintances to take their children if they're arrested or deported.

Many illegal immigrants signed documents in the past week allowing others to care for their children if needed, assistance groups say, and a couple living illegally in nearby Shelby County extracted a promise from the man's boss to send their three young children — all U.S. citizens — to Mexico should they be jailed under the law.

A key sponsor of the measure, state Sen. Scott Beason, said such concerns weren't raised when legislators were considering the bill, and he wonders if the stories now are designed to "pull on heart strings" and build sympathy for illegal immigrants.

But for Maria Patino — who prays every time she leaves home — even a chance encounter with police could end with her two elementary-age children being left alone or taken to foster care if she and her husband are sent back to Mexico. Both are in the country illegally and have no friends or relatives close enough to take in the kids..."
