“I don’t understand why they get angry with families like ours that just want to have a better life,” said Lily Montalvan, who has looked after Roxana and her son Ronnie, 16, alone since her husband, a construction worker, was deported.

“I had a beautiful family, always together. For my husband, his life was his work and us. This has destroyed us and I do not know how we are going to continue.”

Montalvan and Roxana met Gruters in Tallahassee last week as part of a hundreds-strong delegation from groups including the Florida Immigrant Coalition (Flic) and United We Dream. She said she told him her husband was not a criminal but a hard worker with valid US government labour certification whose only goal since arriving from Peru in 1988 was to raise and support his family. She said Gruters, also the chair of the Republican party of Florida, was unmoved.

“I asked my daughter how she felt leaving the senator’s office and she said, ‘It is horrible,’” Montalvan said.
