If you are so concerned about keeping the families of border jumping immigration criminals together, then implement this simple solution -- deport them all.

Tens of thousands of demonstrators marched in cities across America yesterday, shouting slogans that called for a path to legal residency for about 12 million illegal immigrants and an end to federal deportation raids that have increased during the past year.

A year after a series of similar rallies, yesterday's protests focused on keeping families intact. That focus appeared aimed at raids that could separate parents who are in the country illegally from children born here who are citizens. More than 3 million American-born children have illegal immigrant parents who are subject to deportation, according to the Urban Institute and the Pew Hispanic Center.

Mom and dad are able to take their American kids with them if they so desire -- ther eis nothing stopping them. But what they want is to benefit from their illegal activity and the good fortune to drop a baby on this side of the border. That is unacceptable.

Of course, we could always declare that being an illegal alien is grounds for termination of all parental rights to American citizen children --or repeal the notion of birthright citizenship for the children of border jumpers. You know, take away one more incentive for coming to this country.
