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.

Some people investigating, involved or near that have a nasty habit of dropping dead.

Odd, that.

“We’re not bad people. We don’t hurt anybody.”

“It was private insurance that was being paid out of her husband’s job: Where’s the victim?”

Victimless crime...

She has no criminal record.

She does now.

These illegal aliens are not law abiding citizens. They are neither law abiding nor citizens.

Any illegal alien caught with a fake social security card or fake ID should be immediately deported.

“The Texas authorities are doing the right thing, now make sure she’s deported.”

They need to keep her in jail, at least until Trump takes office.

“Immigrant advocates are planning protests, complaining the arrest will lead other immigrants to avoid necessary medical treatment.” I am sure they have doctors and hospitals in the countries where these illegal aliens came belong. I suggest they go home and avail themselves of that care.

And her 22 y.o. Daughter and 19 y.o. Son are both illegals. They would have had to have social security numbers for parents tax returns, get drivers licenses, work, go to college, etc. They also would have been fake so they too should be charged with felonies. Probably voted too.

True about fake documents, but, we live in a politically correct world, in which the laws you and I are required to follow do not apply to illegal aliens.

‘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. “

They have to throw in no criminal record yet she used fake ID. She has other fake ID which we can assume was used therefore yes, shes a criminal.
