There has to be a better way.
About 30 children were left without their parents after immigration agents raided Petit Jean Poultry plant in Arkadelphia, Ark. and took away 119 workers. Authorities said 115 were from Mexico, two were from Honduras and the others were from El Salvador and Guatemala. All face possible deportation.
And some of those arrested were able to call and arrange care for their children, others were not. Thank goodness a local church, La Primera Iglesia Bautista, helped make arrangements.
Temple Black, a spokesman for the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement office in New Orleans, said Friday that each person arrested was asked whether they had children and they all said they did not.
I find that very hard to believe.
