The Washington Post has a compelling feature of Nora Sandigo, who is a guardian to hundreds of U.S. children born to undocumented immigrants who are subject to deportation. Sandigo began caring for the U.S.-citizen children of deported parents five years ago and she has become "Miami's most popular solution to a growing problem in immigration enforcement affecting what the government refers to as 'mixed-status families.'" When legal guardians are named to protect the childrens' legal interests, they can stay with relatives or friends who are in the country illegally.
