Making Immigration Law Personal

Part of me does not want to post this story as I think it was only brought up by the media due to immigration reform being a hot topic. That being said, I'm curious what other Mod-Bloggers see as the solution to the following situation.

Alex Jiminez, a member of the U.S. Army, has been missing in Iraq for just over a month. His wife, Yaderlin, came here illegally. Alex then applied for a green card for her which has not come through. The problem is that since she is illegally here and has been for more than a year, the law says that she must be deported and cannot return to the U.S. for 10 years. At this point, it will take an act of Congress to keep her here.

Part of me says that she came here illegally and they should have known the risks. Their illegal actions should not be rewarded. On the other hand, I don't think I could be the judge that handed down that verdict. The fact that her husband is currently MIA just compounds the "human factor" part of the issue.
