If she is married to an American, and has a daughter here, at some point in time she should have applied for citizenship. I understand this can be a scary and challenging thing to do - You can go years waiting for everything to be finalized, and in the event you break any kind of a law you can be instantly deported.
I surely do not support illegal immigration; I don't believe anyone does. If anyone wants to come to the United States they should be encouraged to do so, but if you come here illegally eventually you will be caught and then sent home - and then be unable to apply for citizenship for the next ten years.
This woman who got deported is screwed. Her husband cannot leave the United States - he has a business here, a house, and a kid in school. Best case she will be able to have her husband and daughter visit her. Yikes.
