Deportation- is it right or wrong?

A mother and a daughter who have been living in the USA for more than 15 years are being deported to Bangladesh because they are not citizens. Nadia Habib and her mother, Nazmin Habib, are not being sent back to Bangladesh just yet, but if immigration does decide to send them they will be leaving their whole family, which includes their father and siblings. Nadia came to the US in 1993 when she was just 22 months old.
Her father now has a green card and her other siblings were all born in the US, which is why they aren't being deported as well. I wonder how the immigration feels about separating families just because of simple measures as these. Nadia, who is just 19 has never left the US since she came her in 93 and she can't speak the bangladesh language as well. Its like were sending her to a foreign country just because her birth certificate says thats where she's from.
The immigration people should really take in consideration cases like these and not seperate parents and their children and siblings. Since Nadia's siblings are all citizens the parents should automatically be made citizens as well as herself. America is a free country meaning people like Nadia shouldn't be deported when there whole life has been spent here.
