Dilemmas in today's New Word

Recently I have heard many stories about immigration deportation quotas and the detainment of illegal immigrants. Many people look at the immigration rate and the deportation rate as a number; immigrants are not numbers but human beings. Lives are affected by the ignorances of such institutions being created.  Many law-abiding (illegal) immigrants are main caregivers to their (legal citizen) family members and at any time can be sent away, tearing a family apart.  The government and Americans are treating immigrants (illegal or not) as criminals. posted is an article about the conditions of where those immigrants are detained.
