If you read the article, she gets a $600 check from the government each month for the child. That is what they are all living on now. I assume he also gets Medicaid and other benefits because he is profoundly disabled. If she had had him in Mexico he would be dead by now because Mexico does not make such provisions. The article doesn't say where the $600 comes from, but it has to be SSI or SS disability.

Her name is interesting, as well. Mexican movie star Silvia Pinal, the Marilyn Monroe of Mexico in the 60s, starred in a Luis Buñuel movie called "Viridiana," in which a novice nun about to take her vows makes a final visit to her lecherous uncle's house and the inevitable ensues. As a result, a lot of people in Mexico, including Silvia, named their female children Viridiana.

Must be a cultural thing... Nothing like whoring put on a pedestal as an example/role Model...
