    Eduardo Gonzalez, a petty officer second class with the U.S. Navy, is about to be deployed overseas for a third time. Making his deployment even tougher is the fact his wife may not be around when he comes back. His wife faces deportation to Guatemala -- her home country that she hasn't seen since 1989. He also doesn't know what would happen to his young son, Eduardo Jr., if that happens. "I like being in uniform and serving my country, but if she goes back I'm going to have to give it all up and just get out and take care of my son and get a job," he said. "Defending the country that's trying to kick my family out is a thought that always runs through my mind." Gonzalez, who works on helicopters that bring cargo, supplies and military personnel in and out of Iraq, testified before a House Judiciary Committee panel last month, detailing his situation and urging officials to consider some sort of policy to deal with cases like his, where military members' families could be deported while they're defending their country overseas. Do you think exceptions should be made for military families? -detect

    What was the reason behind the deportation? My opinion really base on why she is being deported.

    shes prob an illegal.....
    i think that she should stay cause she is married to a citizen and cause of that she should be able to go for her citizenship.

    Its hard to say but in his case, they should allow her to stay due to his records of serving his country.

    ^ditto. can't have the kid losing both parents at the same time. same concept with the whole idea of how you can't have a second, or was it third, brother in the military because the gov doesn't want a family losing all of their sons if death does occur.
