Jessie Mangaliman dramatically supports illegal immigration, mixed status families

Jessie Mangaliman of Knight Ridder/San Jose Mercury News offers "Close-knit S.J. immigrant family lives in constant dread of breakup", concerning a mixed-status family with most of the members being here legally but the eldest daughter being here illegally. He does include a quote from Steven Camarota of the Center for Immigration Studies in the middle pointing to one solution: start enforcing the laws in order to avoid having even more mixed-status families in the future. That key point seems to be lost on those who promulgate such propaganda: they apparently want to complain about that which they helped bring about.

And, the Camarota section is preceded by the sucker-punch intro. In order to make it even more dramatic and just "kick it up a notch", I've put it in poesy form:

On Sofia Alvarado's 46th birthday, she stood beaming
   at the stove
     in her
South San Jose home
mashing and stirring a clay pot of pinto beans

  The rare afternoon was a mother's coveted gift: all five of her adult children
    and
      four grandchildren relaxing
  at home together at the same time

  Her eldest daughter kicks
  a ball
     out front
with her young daughter

  A son watches over a grandchild while another
son sleeps off his graveyard shift

Another daughter coos over an infant

The youngest daughter arrives from school
