The story of Adriana is one of hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of stories of unfairness faced by people in this country. We in America pride ourselves on being fair. This is unfair. What we are doing to these people is un-American. These are people who are already American in many ways: They have spouses. They are families: a husband, a wife, a father, a mother who are American; many of the children are American citizens. In the process, somebody has been left out. We want to bring them in. We pride ourselves on doing everything we can to be family friendly. It would truly be family friendly to unite some of these immigrant families.
