They aren't separated, they are abandoned. No one was stopping the illegal's family from joining her.

Illegal. Either we change the definition of illegal or we change the law. One or the other.

They should be super-deported for birthing their children here illegally. They intentionally took advantage of one law while breaking another, and thus any citizenship bestowed to their children should be void. They should be deported with their children and any other family members who are not full citizens through legal means. They should also be barred from ever applying for citizenship, for 2 generations henceforth.

How does being a mother somehow make you not responsible for your crimes?

How about the sob stories of families broken apart when the police dare to arrest one or both parents for breaking the law?

Incarceration is oppression.

Fine, when they rob someone or hurt them and that person comes back to even things.

If an American citizen who happens to be a mother or father commits a significant crime, they go to jail and are separated from their children. It should be no different for people who crossed the border illegally, except instead of jail, they go back.
