To the Editor:

It’s hard to disagree with the president that “bad hombres” who have arrived illegally on our shores should be sent back to where they came from. Assumed in those statements, however, is that he intends to focus on deporting the “bad” ones, not the millions of immigrants who may have arrived here illegally many years ago and are members of conscientious, hard-working, law-abiding families, who have every desire to eventually become loyal American citizens.
