Completely false, there aren't "plenty" who have been deported without due process. If you have your papers and live here as a US citizen, you won't need "due process".
I feel the hyperbole is over the top on this issue. Babies aren't forced out of their mother's arms. The mother is allowed to make her own decision whether to bring her child back to her native country or make arrangements for her child to be cared for by a US citizen, (which could be an aunt, grandmother, niece..) The mother knew the laws here when she entered and took a crapshoot with her child's life when she left her country. No one points that fact out and if the mother leaves now and applies to reenter the USA legally, she will have an opportunity to be a taxpaying citizen with her child.
