Back to Man Eegee - Latino Político
*sigh* stories like this diminish this country. Utter bullshit behavior by those officials.
Yep. I got three "no comments" from the phone calls I made. They are hoping this gets ignored when, really, things like this happen everyday and deserve streets filled with angry mobs of people demanding an end to the atrocities.
Pregnant women do pose a particular danger so I can understand exactly why she was shackled.
yep, and then there's allllll that energy after they give birth to flee.
The mother's of those sheriff officials obviously failed them. Basic human dignity and the difference between right and wrong was lost on those law enforcement individuals.
"Villegas was taken to a Nashville hospital on July 5 where she was restrained until two hours before she gave birth." That was labor time, she was not "shackeled" during labor.
"She was restrained again about six hours after the birth." Yes, because she was still under arrest.
It's no wonder Americans are beginning to associate the word "Latino" with illegal invader! It's people like you that are turning American citizens against all Latinos and causing the so called hatred of Latinos, no matter whether they are legal, ilegal. When legal Latio Citizens jump to the defence of an arrogant, illegal invader who chooses to deliberately disobey our laws and flaunt the system in front of our faces, you are the ones to cry racist and racial profiling!
You fail to mention her previous deportation order in your story. Why do you omit such important facts?
Legal Latinos should be appauled over the way you portray this woman.
This illegal was ordered deported back in the 90's; an order she deliberately refused to obey. She chose to stay in this country long enough to deliver four (count them! 1! 2! 3! 4!!) anchor babies! Try asking yourself, just who paid for those deliveries?
She, technically, has been running from from the law from the very beginning when she refused to leave when ordered, therefore she is an immigration fugitive and likely to do it again. She's a criminal and all criminals are handcuffed even in a hospital, not just Mexicans!
Thousands of women go into labor while incarcerated, and they stay handcuffed too. Would you be so appauled if this was an American who gave birth while under arrest?
What about her husband? Is he an illegal also? Does he work? If he does, whose identity is he using for employment? Is he paying taxes to cover the cost of all those kids education? You should check out all the facts surrounding this family before jumping to their defence.
You just may get hit with mud in your face for not investigating further the situation with this woman. Omiting facts and nor reporting the whole story is doing nothing but adding to the anger of more Americans against Latinos.
Heh. I could care less what her legal status was - that's the mistake you're making.
It is wrong. Period. To shackle any woman during labor and then keep her from breast feeding after the birth. I'm glad you're here, because it shows that this story is making it out there to a wider audience.
I'm a citizen, I'm not appalled by my portrayal and I know many, many others who agree with me - so don't think you have a monopoly on ways to read this story.
She's a criminal...
So's our fearless leader, and yet he goes unshackled. But this woman, crossing an arbitrary invisible line that we call a border must be imprisoned for the crime of wanting what she believes to be a better life. The fact that 60% of American citizens are the descendents of immigrants gets scant notice. Her legal status does not concern me. We should welcome all, anyone short of being an ax murderer.
You anti-ax murderer xenophobe, boran2!!!!!!!!!
Guilty as charged.
Ack! I left something out above. It should be 60% of Americans are descendants of immigrants coming within the last 100 years.
You're living in the past.
Decendents of immigrants are NOT TODAYS IMMIGRANTS.
"Her legal status does not concern me."
Pathetic comment. You admit it doesn't bother you that millions of illegals are using fake and stolen SS numbers to work illegally in this country? You condone identity theft? Yours or your child's perhaps? You have no compassion for citizens who spend years and thousands of dollars trying to make their lives their own again?
You condone the fact that she has deliberately given birth to four babies during her hiding- from-the-law years?
Family values? Yes the value of her family grows with each baby she produces and she knows it.
"We should welcome all, anyone short of being an ax murderer."
And just how do you suggest we weed out ax murderers from our society or stop them at the border? May I suggest supporting the enforcement of the laws?
Child rapists, drunk driving manslaughterers, cop killers, gang bangers?
Happens every day, [exp;] "Illegal Immigrant Kills Father and two Sons"
How often do you read American citizen murders Mexican Illegal Immigrant?
[Only one so far...they were robbing a home!]
Keep defending illegals and I can almost guarantee you headlines will be doing a flip.
You're just adding to the growing hatred of ALL Latinos [which will eventually destroy this country] by defending this criminal.
She was treated no diferrent than any other fugitive criminal. If you think that treatment is wrong, you should fight to change that procedure of jail enforcement for ALL CRIMINALS, LEGAL OR NOT......not just defending illegals.
::yawn::
"::yawn::"
Handcuffed = Shacked? = TORTURE?
Yea, BIG YAWN.
