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.

If her booking record house address and voter ID house address match....
And how would anyone know that? Illegals just go to a local flea market and get new a ID when ever they get charged with a crime/serious traffic violation. It is almost impossible to know their history when they change their identification after every interaction with the law.
As reply 62 indicates, the government may not have a personal criminal record on her, true... but millions of Americans have the criminalian records of criminaliens in their basic knowledge. That will have to do for now, until we can get the government to actually deal with the issue on a macro and a micro level.
Think anyone will check the families tax returns? My bet is there some more felonies that could be charged.
See replies 33, 35, and 52 above. I found those records last night and turned them over to True the Vote. They have already replied that they have turned the info over to their research team.
It wouldn’t surprise me if one is the mother and the other is the daughter and they are both fraudulently registered to vote. Whoops! There goes that dreamer application!
Correction: That would be posts 31, 33, and 52.
I tried to look for a booking, but came up with nothing. Perhaps I am looking in the wrong place.
They headline is a total lie. She’s on an “immigrant”, she’s an illegal alien. Totally different.
