12-Yr-Old US Citizen to President Obama: “I Want My Mom Back”

[Shoush]

Last November, Maria Guadalupe Zamudio, a Mexican national with temporary immigration status, was deported after trying to apply for permanent residency. She was banned from the US for ten to twenty years. Maria’s three children, aged nine to twelve, are all US citizens. Last Thursday, they joined their aunt and uncle to make a twenty-hour drive from Worthington, Minnesota to Washington, DC. They’ve each written letters to President Obama asking him to let their mother return.

Watch Zamudio's 12 year old son make the case for his mother on Democracy Now! Very moving...

1. How touching

Breaking up families is just incredibly heartbreaking. Let's hope a solution can be found to keep this from happening anymore.
