Advocates Protest Latina Immigrant's Arrest At Texas Doctor's Office
By MOLLY HENNESSY-FISKE.
Blanca Borrego has been living in the U.S. illegally for a dozen years, so she didn’t think she was risking arrest when she went to her gynecologist’s office this month. Her husband works and has private health insurance for the family.
But sheriff’s deputies surprised the mother of three, handcuffing her in front of her 8-year-old, U.S.-born daughter and taking her to jail, where she was held in lieu of $35,000 bond. The charge: tampering with a government record, a felony.
Borrego, 44, originally from Monterrey, Mexico, had given the staff at the clinic a fake Texas driver’s license as identification and they alerted deputies, who found a fake Social Security card in her purse, leading to the charges. She has no criminal record.
County and hospital officials said they were simply enforcing the law. Immigrant advocates are planning protests, complaining the arrest will lead other immigrants to avoid necessary medical treatment.
California voters sharply disagree on low-cost healthcare for immigrants California voters sharply disagree on low-cost healthcare for immigrants Borrego’s 22-year-old daughter also accompanied her to the appointment and recounted what happened, but asked not to be identified because she has a pending application for legal status under the Obama administration’s Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA.

For a second there I thought this was about Columba Bush.
The longer you are here illegally, the more it’s gonna hurt when they catch you...
“Advocates” for what?
False ID and SSN? Oh wait, she’s now a member of a “protected class” so she should get off scot-free

Mexico has socialized medicine. They can get all the necessary medical treatment there they need.
It’s the LA Slime so it has to be objective and true, not meant for anything other than the truth.
barry soetoro tampered with his “birth certificate”, where’s the felony.
The Texas authorities are doing the right thing, now make sure she’s deported.
IIRC having a fake drivers license and social security card were crimes.
Try having fake government documents in Mexico.
She had one before... she is merely adding to the existing criminal[ian] record.
So she’s not really a “Latina immigrant”, right? She’s an illegal alien.

Glad she was arrested. Now deport her ass.
She broke the law.
To these criminals, the actual crime is being committed against them when they are held to OUR laws.
They don’t belong here.
Jeb is proof that the diseases they bring are contagious.
I wonder if she used her fake ID to register to vote???
Good question
Excellent.
Now she does.
Only 36 million more to go.
Yeah, no kidding.

Just one of the many “industries” created by illegal invasion, like identity-theft of real Americans. Nope, no crime there, I suppose, eh Jeb?
