SAN ANTONIO -- Their story begs the question -- can this legally happen? A man, a husband and father to be, ripped away from his family.

Cesar and Kathleen Lopez are newlyweds. But their marriage is already being tested. They have to figure out how to convince the government they've earned the right to be here together.

"Cesar is stuck in Mexico", says the audio. BS, he is in his homeland. Get used to it and decide to bring the wife to Mexico or let her find a job. Every once in a while you get what you deserve. Didn't realize WOAI was such a bleeding heart.

Oh, puhleeeeze, let's can the drama. He was not RIPPED from his family, he was deported for being here illegally. WOAI is trying to whip up the sympathy factor by turning this into a sturm und drang drama. Did they mention how many others have been deported this year? Was this the only person RIPPED from their families???

@hidden agenda, he was able to go through the school system b/c it's illegal for schools to turn him away, thanks to George and Laura Bush, schools can't even turn their parents in for being here illegal, when we say NO CHILD LEFT BEHIND, we mean NO CHILD LEFT BEHIND!

"thousands of dollars they could barely afford",then why on earth are they having a child that costs waaaay more than that? If I understand correctly, which I know I'm not the brightest color in this crayola box we call the world, then they were pregnant before they were married, if that's true most Christians know that you are not to fornicate before marriage. Also, if he knew he was here ILLEGALLY, then she probably knew as well, what did they think would happen once he was caught? Also, if they want to be a family why doesn't SHE move to Mexico, since it's obviously easier for her to do so now.....

I would rather go ahead and make this man an automatic citizen and boot out all the freeloaders, making welfare a way of life. At least this guy had a job and was supporting his family. All these other dregs living the welfare life are the ones pulling this country down. Not the illegals working their a$$es off.

i also would like to know how he was able to go to school and find work without the proper documents.. that should raise some flags right there about our system.. that's when he should have been deported not after the fact.

really? you people think this lady is going to move to Mexico? Nope, shes going to stay here so you can pay to support her and her kid. she might even go down to visit her husband in Mexico and come back pregnant again so we can support that one as well. you people need to wake up and smell the tamales. our system is broken and your way of thinking is broken. its better to help make this guy a legal citizen and make him support his own family then to have us do it.
