Because?

Because?

Jorge Garcia was brought into the United States at the age of ten by an undocumented relative thirty years ago. He is married with two children, holds a job, pays taxes, and has committed no criminal offense.

Yesterday, he was deported to Mexico. Because? What possible national interest is served by this deportation? Just following the letter of the law for the sake of following the letter of the law?

“How terrible for you! You hypocrites! You give to God one tenth even of the seasoning herbs, such as mint, dill, and cumin, but you neglect to obey the really important teachings of the Law, such as justice and mercy …” (Jesus)
