A family broken at the border
"All the talk about illegal immigrants made Joe Wood want to "do the right thing."
Three years after the freight loader had married Laura Roldan - who was in the country unlawfully - the Woods were happily raising two U.S.-born daughters in Omaha. But in this era of heightened immigration enforcement, Joe Wood grew fearful that his wife could be snatched away.
He hired a lawyer and began the process to adjust her immigration status.
What in May was supposed to be a family fix-it trip to a U.S. Consulate in Mexico ended up a "nightmare" in which Laura Wood, 33, was accused of past fraud and barred forever from re-entering the United States."
