"We were so afraid he would have a cleft lip," she said. "But he’s absolutely beautiful."

That fear had prompted Rodriguez, 35, and her husband, Serafin Cortez Torres, 25, to leave Michoacan, Mexico, for Columbus four months ago.

Well folks, the United States is officially toast. This isn't a story from LA or Houston, it's from Columbus. And the media loves it. No mention of legality, no care about who pays for this. Nope. That waould be "racist" and "bigoted."

You know, illegal immigration is a problem.

But do you really think EVERYONE from Mexico is illegal? I know many LEGAL immigrants from Mexico.

My husband was born with a cleft palate," Rodriguez said through an interpreter. "So was his daughter from a previous relationship.

Who's caring for the daughter back in Mexico while you and your boy-husband pursue your dream up North?

One could assume since they needed an interpretor.

Maybe they are legals; but don't let us spoil your pleasure

FACT: Most common baby boy name in London is Mohammed, in LA it is Jose.

Rodriguez had planned to work, too, but broke both her ankles shortly before leaving Mexico.

A very common injury from jumping over fences.

Since moving to the North Side, Torres has worked nights cleaning a store. Rodriguez had planned to work, too, but broke both her ankles shortly before leaving Mexico.

I guess we can figure she didn't go on foot across the border..She probably just overstayed her VISA.

And if anyone on this thread thinks they aren't ILLEGAL, they are naive.

This aticle just made me go blech....and blech......and blech all the way through it.

It has almost EVERYTHING in it that is wrong with our system!

Deport them and their anchor baby!

I hope lots of people read this and realize that a sizable number of illegals come across our border for exactly that reason. Great, free medical care, courtesy of the American taxpayer.
Sheesh.

"We couldn’t have planned it any better. Who would have thought: a new baby, a new year and a new life? "
"We were so afraid he would have a cleft lip,"...That fear had prompted Rodriguez, 35, and her husband, Serafin Cortez Torres, 25, to leave Michoacan, Mexico, for Columbus four months ago."
"By coming to the United States, they felt assured that their baby would receive the best medical care."
"Rodriguez said her life has been like a fairy tale since meeting her husband last February."

Met in February, waded over (while pregnant) about August, and her last quote in the report is basically a request for free goodies from any bleeding heart reading the story.

Sounds to me like they planned it pretty damn well.

Interesting how the wife doesn't take the husnband's last name. They probably aren't even married.
