Little background on Villegas.Villegas came to the United States 14 years ago in search of a job and said she worked at a fast-food restaurant at one point. She lived in California for 10 years before moving to Nashville four years ago."An important factor in this case is that this woman had been previously deported from this country and she ignored that order and came back. Federal immigration authorities don't look lightly on this," Hall said.Arrested and deported and came back a 2nd time. More background..Local authorities, however, insisted that they followed protocol in the case, and noted that Villegas had been deported from the United States in 1996, only to return and give birth to three of her four children--all of whom are U.S. citizens.The woman is caught at the border trying enter America illegally is caught and deported.Only she comes back a 2nd time without being caught.Has 3 children that the taxpayers of America I am sure paid for all 3 births,also I am sure she is receving welfare,food stamps.The court should be saying with this award you can pay back the taxpayers for the freebies you got.Must of used fake or stolen documents to land a job at fast food resturant.In this case crime does pay.She should be deported.Has enough money to live in Mexico now.Instead she will get a visa and citizenship.We will continue to give her welfare and food stamps for years to come.

It is time we stop granting special benefits to criminal alien invaders.

you know, try passing a watermelon out your bottom with the blood and the mucous and the labor pains and at the same time try having being handcuffed....
GIVING BIRTH is not a time to suddenly become all nazi on this woman....its against all human decency...totally uncalled for and sadistic...

Totally agree with your post....they should have unshackled her ankle during birth....it’s not like she was going to run away...
Just a tiny amount of human decency was needed...

Except this new report LIED. She was shackled when brought into the labor room. She was UNSHACKLED during labor and delivery.

Why don’t we appoint her president as well since she’s obviously been mistreated by the system her whole life?

Time for citizens to do what the judiciary, local and federal governments refuse to do.

She needs to be deported. With that money stupidly given to her she can now live very comfortably in a nice big house in mexico.
What happened to the legal concept of not benefiting financially in a lawsuit if you broke the law in that same action?

Which candidate made this phrase popular? I can’t remember.
“One of ‘Life’s Lottery’ Winners!”
That immediately came to mind...

No woman, whether crazy, illegal, a Klingon or whatever deserves to be restrained during labor and birth, and needs to have her baby with her afterward-anything else is cruel and unnatural-the very thought is probably painful to anyone of my gender who has given birth.
Crap like this makes all who are against allowing illegals to stay here look like Nazis, which doesn’t win friends or influence people-I’m Hispanic, I call illegals by the non-PC term “mojado”, and even I’m appalled...

She does still need to be sent back-and with that much money in Mexico, she can afford to buy a big house in a picturesque mountain village, open a hotel there for tourists, hire some staff to help run it and improve the economy-that money is as much as the national debt of a small third world country anywhere south of here...

Other reports say she was unshackled during childbirth and later afterwards one of her ankles was cuffed to the bed.

Yes. The dollar does get one more in Mexico. I’ve seen some pretty nice houses for under $150 thousand with beach views on HGTV.

Until a few years ago, some of my relatives who worked for US companies with facilities in Mexico would sign up to work there for a couple years, then come back to the US. The housing available was really nice, although what you are talking about was too touristy to be affordable.
The big hotel chains even offered a nice bonus for their US employees who spoke Spanish to go there on a 2 year contract, doing the same job they did at their hotel in Dallas, or wherever. A couple of my cousins went there for 2 years-after I was widowed, I thought about it, but it was getting dangerous over there-my relatives came back because of that when their contract was up.
