On June 22, 2010, U.S. Senators, Al Franken (D-Minn.) and Herb Kohl (D-Wisc.) introduced legislation intended to better protect children in the United States during Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids. According to ECM Publishers, in their web article entitled "Franken, Kohn introduce HELP Separated Children Act," the U.S. Customs and Immigration Service reported 108,434 parents of U.S. citizen children were deported in the past 10 years. Unfortunately, these children are often left behind to fend for themselves in the United States without their parents and are effectively abandoned without sufficient safeguards to protect them while their parents are in detention. For more information on this legislation, please see the article, "Franken, Kohn introduce HELP Separated Children Act," published by ECM Publishers, Inc. at www.hometownsource.com.
