I don't need to tell you how important families are. Whether you are the parent or the child, the worst thing that can happen is to be separated from each other. Now imagine yourself alone in the country, living with the constant fear that you may never see your loved ones again. Ana Cordoba doesn't need to imagine this nightmare because she is living it:

"At 19, being a U.S citizen--born and raised--I currently work an hourly job and share a home with three other people. At this time I'm on medical leave due to mental issues garnered from my parents' deportation. I have been recently diagnosed with PTSD and OCD--I have nightmares that one day I will wake up to the news that my parents are dead in war-torn Mexico. My mind is filled with the thoughts of what could have been, and it hurts so much. While that may not sound so severe to you, to my parents: it does."

I understand America is divided on issues of immigration, but Ana's parent's have been lawful residents of the US for 20 years. That's 20 years of paying taxes and contributing to the economy. Illegal drug dealers and gangs are a problem, but they are far from being one of them. They are just a simple family, like you and me, trying to create a better life for their child. Whatever your political views are, put them aside and help reunite this family. Please sign the petition at [link]
