"Worry about getting deported". Would deportation be dramatic for an individual or family? For most, I would have to say yes. Is there anything you or I could do about it? No. Will an individual or family be surprised if instructed to leave? Certainly not. The choice to come illegally was entirely their decision. Did they know they might be caught/deported? Of course they did. Did they have a plan for themself or family if facing deportation. Of course they do but it isn't something outsiders are privy to. So now the "illegal's" have come nearer the time when they will have to implement their plan. This is a case where the classic..."choose the behavior, choose the consequence" is in play. We may be sympathetic but are legally left only with that.
