| WAXAHATCHIE, Texas (CNN) -- Julie Quiroz clutches her teddy bear crying.
| "Mommy," she says softly, as her mother wraps her arms around her and rubs
| her back. One of her brothers tries to console her. "You're going to come
| back," he says.
| Julie Quiroz, a 13-year-old U.S. citizen, went back to Mexico when her mom
| was deported.
|
| The 13-year-old Quiroz begins to walk away to catch an airplane from
Mexico
| to the United States. Within moments, she rushes back to her mother's
arms.
| "Mommy," she says again, tears streaming down her face.
|
| Quiroz is one of an estimated 3 million American children who have at
least
| one parent who entered the United States illegally, according to the Urban
| Institute, which researches and evaluates U.S. social and economic issues.
|
| In Quiroz's case, she was born in Washington state, lived there her entire
| life and went to school there. But her mother, Ana Reyes, entered the
| United States illegally before Quiroz was born and U.S. immigration
| officials caught up with her last year on her birthday. Video Watch how

|
| "I was there when they handcuffed her," Quiroz says. "I was there when
they
| took her down."
|
| Two of her brothers, who had come with their mother to the United States
| when they were young children, also were taken into custody.
|
| It was the start of a downward spiral for Quiroz. When her mother and
| brothers were deported, Quiroz and her 6-year-old, American-born sister
had
| no choice but to return to Mexico City with them.
|
| Her seventh-grade year was spent in a classroom where she didn't
understand
| the language.
|
| "I never belonged there," she says. "I'd just come home, sit down, cry.
I'd
| say, 'Mom, I can't do it.' ... I can't read or write Spanish."
|
| She adds, "I felt like there were no dreams for me."

| Yup - that's how it is mexico. None of this multi-lingual idiocy us

%%%% We need to round up all of the illegals sell their assets to finance
the round up and put their American born children up for adoption.
