Families torn apart by immigration


From CNBC anchor Carl Quintanilla

No matter what your views are regarding immigration laws in this country, it's tough to watch the story we have for you.
It's about what they call "mixed-status families" -- families made up of both legal and illegal residents who are trying to stay together despite being separated by immigration laws that they have violated.

Take Jose Zaragoza, a legal resident since 1987. He met Ana, the woman he wanted to marry, while visiting Mexico. They married, then waited and waited to get legal papers to bring her into the country. When their patience ran out, Ana came into the U.S. illegally to join her husband, and they had two children, Daniel and Steven.
