Stop immigration laws and their ability to tear families apart!

Stop immigration laws and their ability to tear families apart!

The Issue

Many people want to look at the positives about immigration, especially the government. But what about the negatives? Like tearing families apart.

This is a picture of my unborn child, whose father was taken away by immigration. So, not only did they tear my family apart, but they did it before it could even begin.

The government should not be able to do this to people. It's not right.

If I could only explain to you how much pain I have in my heart, however, it's kind of impossible.

I feel empty, I feel sad, I feel lonely, and I'm hurt to know my country has caused me this pain.

When I give birth to my baby, my fiancee won't be able to be right there at my side, which I wanted more than anything. This kills me.

Every day I wake up, and can't believe that this happened to us.

If it can happen to me, it can happen to anyone. It's not right.

Something needs to be done.

Brittney BenedictPetition StarterI'm Brittney. Engaged to Nelson, who is in El Salvador right now since June of 2009. I've been through so much since he's been gone. So many ups and downs. From depression to anxiety I feel it all. To all of you who don't care about immigrants or their families, that's fantastic, keep it to yourself. You don't know what you're talking about until you have to go through it. Nelson and I have a daughter, Aleecia. She was born 8-12-09. So, because immigration, I gave birth to her without Nelson by my side. All I want is for Nelson to come home to Aleecia and I. But, he's got a 10 year bar. This is my story.
