CALHOUN, Ga. (AP) - Increasingly fearful of getting swept up in a government raid, some illegal immigrants are drawing up legal instructions designating someone to take care of their children if the parents are jailed or deported.
At the urging of activists, parents are authorizing, in writing, a friend, neighbor or relative to watch their children. And they are being advised to carry the paperwork with them at all times.
"We're talking about it, and we say the documented ones will take the children, and it's better to have a signed paper," said a 32-year-old mother from Mexico who works in a store in Tifton and spoke on condition of anonymity for fear of deportation.
