Immigrant rights activists are asking the Bush administration to stop deporting undocumented immigrants picked up in stepped-up immigration enforcement.
The loud knocks on the door awoke Verónica Ruiz and her family at 5:59 a.m. Feb. 6.
''At first I thought it was a robbery, but then I knew,'' Ruiz said. ``Immigration agents were outside looking for me.''
Ruiz jumped out of bed, gathered her husband and two children in a room of their Miami-Dade apartment and hid for five hours as immigration officers outside shone flashlights through windows. Eventually, the officers left without making the arrest -- and Ruiz went into hiding.
The 31-year-old Colombian thus joined the nearly half a million fugitives nationwide who are ignoring deportation orders -- prime targets of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement as agents step up efforts to track down immigrants evading expulsion.

There's your answer. If an illegal immigrant has committed a crime in their homeland, or is a fugitive of the United States, they need to be deported.
ALL ILLEGAL immigrants are fugitives in the United States. So "dusesean1986" has finally admitted that illegal immagrants should be deported. I have to say its about time! Good job "dusesean1986". I hope you relize what you have done "dusesean1986". You do relize anyone who enters this country illegaly is a fugitve...hence the term ILLEGAL Immagrant.
