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.

They can go to Meh He Ko for their world renown health care.
Coloompa can't see over the counter at a Doctor's office.
Well she has one now.
Sometimes I actually read something that makes me happy and gives me hope. She should be in jail and then deported. Fake driver’s license and fake social security card, illegal alien....criminal activity since she crossed the border.
does that apply to the one in the hut
Instead of arresting her in a “gasp” doctor’s office, they should have used the Reno-Approach and burned down her home with her family still in it....
Then Mr. Trump should be asked the same question.

We need to see a lot more of this on a daily basis. Once they know they will be deported if they show their face they will self deport back to Mexico!!!
She has no criminal record.
She has to be caught and convicted, she will have a criminal record soon.

Thanks, I reported it to True the Vote last night right after I made that post. Very convenient that they are local to this arrest (as am I).
Thank you very much! Voting illegally is a FELONY. Let La Raza chew on that for a while.
Faking a driver’s license and a SSN is not jaywalking, either.
Bew hew.

Thanks, 0bola....paying for your future voters, on the backs of hard working American citizens.

See? “Rounding up” the millions, isn’t so hard, is it? No actual rounding up required, at all. So easy, that’s what the Dims/RINOs/establishment don’t want to let be known.
Hope she hasn’t filed any fraudulent auto insurance claims in those 22 years.
Dont knnow if it is the same person but here are two voter registrations for Harris County.

It would be interesting to see if she has voted. I am pretty sure that can be looked up, but I'm not sure how to do it.
If her booking record house address and voter ID house address match....
