My husband was deported 5 years ago.  We hired a lawyer.  When we went to court the lawyer decided it was easier to have voluntary deportation with out consulting it with us.  A month before his date to leave the U.S. we went to another lawyer and she took around $3000 from us and didn’t do anything.  I was 9 months pregnant at that time and the immigration officer didn’t think it was important to stop the deportation.  My daughter was born 2 weeks later, of course my husband wasn’t with me.  I have been working non stop to support my 2 kids.  It’s very hard to me a single mother and to have my husband far away.  We go to Tijuana to visit him and after a couple of days with him we each go our own ways.  Its sad to believe that one person has the power and authority to separate a family.  My kids don’t have a dad and I don’t have my husband to share the good moments with our kids.
