"...After he was deported in 1997, Andazola Morales returned to the U.S. undetected in 1998 and has lived here ever since...."

I feel for his family, but he returned illegally.  What stinks is it sounds like his girl is an asset to the country, as likely are many who are children of these illegals.  Instead of solving the problem immediately, they dragged it out, and now more have to suffer.
