When their US-born children live in fear that their parents will be deported, they are collateral damage from harsh new policies. The title of a new book says it all: Forgotten Citizens: Deportation, Children and the Making of American Exiles and Orphans . It's about the people getting left out of the long, loud debate about immigration, the children of undocumented immigrants.
