Deportation of Illegals is now "mean"?

According to this story from Fox News, advocated for illegal aliens and legal resident aliens facing deportation for committing crimes after coming here are now crying about how "mean" it is to deport the aliens who managed to stay in our country long enough to have kids here. Their rationale is that it's cruel to split those families up by deporting the illegal or criminal alien so we should not do it.

By that logic, we also should not jail bank robbers, carjackers, arsonists, drug dealers, etc., because that also splits up families.

At least those deported have the option of taking their kids back home with them. They can do that. The fact that they choose not to shouldn't be allowed to stand as an argument in favor of staying the deportations.
