Americans? No. Mexicans? Most likely.

Rep. Joe Garcia (D-Fla.) is among the Democrats pressing Congress to take up immigration reform. On Tuesday, he told a conference call that deportations are breaking families apart and leaving children in foster care.
“So the human toll has been horrific. This president, by implementation of existing law, has been forced to deport a huge number of Americans.”
Although Garcia may consider the deportees to be “Americans,” legally they are not. But they might become citizens if Garcia and other immigration advocates get their way.
Democrats are urging Republicans to sign their discharge petition, which would force a House vote on immigration reform. They said they have 191 of the 218 signatures they need to force the bill to a vote.
“This is our last effort to do this in a legislative fix. That is what we need — a legislative fix that fixes this problem once and for all,” Garcia said.
