I did not read all the comments but I have a question. If she has been here since she was 5 illegally why didn't she, when she became of age apply for citizenship?  What besides money stopped her from doing so?  Having babies so you can stay should not be a factor.  Look, I don't like that families are pulled apart but it is their choice not ours and at 30 years old she should know what is what.  Here choice and now she is paying for it.  I feel sorry for her kids but she is old enough to know better.
