Very sad to see a family broken up this way.I hope the lady can fix her papers and get back to her family ASAP. They really need to change the immigration law to accommodate cases like this.

Ahh, key words in your comment... "Immigration Law!" And yes, it needs fixing. But until such time, laws must be enforced unfortunately, and people will suffer.
Why must laws that cause people to suffer be enforced?
I understand your question completely, and I want to agree with it. But, enacted laws are not meant to cause sufferance. People that make illogical decisions are the real cause for the imposition of one's sufferance. There are consequenses to be had when we break laws, and the penalties and deterrance that our system of laws creates is supposed to make us safe and secure. Unfortunately, we do not live in a utopian society and humanitarian intervention is needed (required in many cases) to ease the burdens on our society. Those who break the laws know all to well the risks involved or they are just dumb. The U.S. has some of the most unenforced immigration laws on the books as compared to other nations, yet we get bashed the most. Why is that?
