Immigration Enforcement Separated Thousands Of U.S.-Born Children From Parents

WASHINGTON -- In the first half of 2011 alone, nearly 46,500 parents of U.S.-born children were forced to leave the country, according to a report released on Monday by Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

Those parents were among the 396,906 immigrants removed from the United States in the 2011 fiscal year under President Barack Obama, which set the record for deportations in one year by any president. Between Jan. 1, 2011, and June 30, 2011, 46,486 men and women were removed from the country by the government.

The Obama administration has said that undocumented immigrants with strong ties to the United States are a low priority for removals -- including parents of citizen children.
