Families are being torn apart? Guess what? I don't care. Children who became US citizens because they were "Anchor Babies" should be deported along with their parents--when the kids become 18 (voting age) they can come back as US citizens; until then they should be wards of their parents.
(Actually, I'd prefer to see "birthright citizenship--"Anchor Babies"--eliminated but that will require either a significant re-interpretation of the 14th Amendment (which I think is overdue) or another Amendment to turn off that provision, and I don't see either one happening any time soon. And no way to make it retroactive, either.)

From the Article: "BOSTON — Immigrant rights groups want Massachusetts to declare itself a “sanctuary state” by prohibiting local police from detaining immigrants suspected of living in the United States illegally, saying it sows distrust and sweeps up law-abiding people."
